Astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., lunar module pilot, prepares to deploy the Early Apollo Scientific Experiments Package (EASEP) during the Apollo 11 lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA). Astronaut Neil A. Armstrong, commander, took this picture with a 70 mm lunar surface camera. During flight the EASEP was stowed in the Lunar Module’s scientific equipment bay at the left rear quadrant of the descent stage looking forward. Aldrin is removing the EASEP from its stowed position.
Battelle/PNNL researchers participated in the 2nd annual Celebration of Science at John Dam Plaza in Richland. The event is festival-style, showcasing the amazing contributions of science-based industries in our community.

Likely a little too stylish for the science fair. meh.
This is one way you can stretch 6 seconds of time lapse to fit the 1 minute presentation you have to give.
I do love the soundtrack - wet new age ambience.
I had seen this done on Pinterest and had to try it myself with all of the cold weather we have been having. All you have to do is add some food color to water ballons, then hang them outside so they can freeze. The colors come out beautiful.
This really gross but endlessly fascinating growth occurred in a supposedly clean petri dish which my boyfriend "sanitized" and put into storage for future use in cultivating yeast strands for his homebrewing adventures.
7/14/08 - Not sure why this picture is getting so many views lately but if it's because any of you are mold/yeast/fungus experts, if you could explain why the thing has structure that would be really cool.
Only took one shot with the viv when we went out rocketeering on Christmas Eve... but when you capture the moment so perfectly, why bother with another exposure?

This is my Lava Lamp that I made at home. In this Lava Lamp I was trying to compare how much bubbles will come out if the cap was on or off.

In the dedication to his son Johnnie, the author writes:
“Among the experiments contained in this book, many are simple pastimes meant for the recreation of young and old, assembled round the family table.
“Others, on the contrary, being of a really scientific character, are designed to introduce the reader to the study of Physics, that marvelous science to which we owe the discovery of the steam-engine, the telephone, the phonograph, and many other wonders – a science which, there can be little doubt, holds in reserve many other miracles for man.
“The whole of these experiments, whether simple or complex, may be performed without any special apparatus whatever, consequently without the least expense. Our improvised laboratory is composed, as you will perceive, of such articles as kitchen utensils, corks, matches, glasses, knives, forks, and plates – in fact, such things as every house, the humblest in the land, possesses.
“In dedicating this book to you, I trust it may prove a pleasant souvenir, in the days to come, of the happy moments we passed together in working these simple wonders, and in constructing the homely apparatus used in our Magical Experiments.” – Arthur Good (Tom Tit), Paris, 1st of January, 1890
The book contains 150 Magical Experiments.
In this Lava Lamp I changed the amount of oil and water. I decreased the amount of oil and increased the amount of water.

Beakerhead festival... A smash up of art, science & engineering... The second annual year for this event, and much bigger this year... beakerhead.org/
Take a medium-sized sewing-needle with a very sharp point. Take up a position about three feet away from a wooden wainscot or door, and, holding the needle between your finger and thumb, endeavor, strongly launching it, to throw it, point forward, into the wood. No matter what your skill and perseverance, you will not succeed.
Now pass through the eye of the needle a simple bit of thread, and you will be successful in the feat without the slightest difficulty. The little light "make-weight" that you have added to your impromptu javelin transforms it into a veritable arrow, and causes the point, given the impulsion, to strike the object aimed at and "to stick."
Audiences will be amazed in this event as they experience the effects of very hot and very cold temperatures and what affects they can create with our friend Eggbert and in a show-stopping exothermic reaction. Volunteers will get to see matter transform from one state to another by tasting a fizzing Mad Science “burp” potion, and taking a Mad Science bubble bath and shower. They will also be in a scary movie scene using dry ice special effects!

When the kids aren't getting outside enough, we find little adventures to go on or science experiments to try.
This one teaches how fine particles can be highly flammable . (In this case, a pile of ordinary kitchen flour that the kids are blowing air through.)
Do not try this at home.
Do you have a lot of broken, short crayons? Put them to good use by letting the kids create unique artwork through this CRAYON MELTING ART activity. It’s a fun and easy-to-do process art activity for kids and science experiment in one.
What is Process Art?
Process Art is open-ended art....

KIPP Delta students from Helena-West Helena visited Hendrix College, Friday, Sept. 18, 2015. The students heard from Present Bill Tsutsui and participated in science experiments lead by Hendrix science professors and monitored by Hendrix students.

Christina's program for the Tweens this week was Science Experiments. The kids got to try to create static electricity with by rubbing records on cloth and hair and trying to pick up tiny objects.
I get to teach middle school girls about polymers tomorrow. I'm going to start off with an overview of atoms, elements, and molecules. Then, I'm going to explain what polymers are and give them application examples. I even have polyethylene pellet samples from when I worked on a polyethylene unit when I was co-oping for Chevron Phillips Chemical Company during school! I'm going to finish up by making homemade bouncy balls with glue (polyvinyl alcohol), Borax, cornstarch, and warm water. They'll learn about how Borax causes the PVA molecules to link to themselves, which gives the bouncy ball its elasticity. It's going to be so much fun!

Pepper's ghost is an illusion technique used in theater, haunted houses, dark rides, and magic tricks. It is named after John Henry Pepper, a scientist who popularized the effect in a famed demonstration in 1862. An audience views a stage or room with various objects in it. On command, ghostly objects appear to fade in or out of existence in the room, or objects in the room magically transform into different objects.
Pepper's ghost is as useful today in live theater as it was one hundred fifty years ago. The basic trick involves a stage that is specially arranged into two rooms, one that people can see into or the stage as a whole, and a second that is hidden. A plate of glass (or plexiglas or plastic film) is placed somewhere in the main room at an angle that reflects the view of the hidden room towards the audience. When the lights are bright in the main room and dark in the hidden room, the reflected image cannot be seen. When the lighting in the hidden room is increased, often with the main room lights dimming to make the effect more pronounced, the reflection becomes visible and the objects within the hidden room seem to appear in thin air.
