I’ve mapped out two fun, easy experiments that you can do with your kids, grandkids, highlight in a zoom meeting, or classroom.
I shouldn’t call science a trick, but both of these easy experiments make great practical jokes.
So let’s get to it. Time to trick…I mean impress your posse with science at home!
Ever wonder how to see artificial satellites! You can see artificial satellites with the naked eye. I’m going to show you how.
Will science fiction become fact and restore sight to the visually impaired? With bionic eyes….yes!
People in movies and books find their way out of the woods by making their own compass out of who knows what. This skill is COOL.
In the interest of us all being cool, a blog post was in order.
If you want to impress your kids, grandkids, significant other, neighbor or your dog, I’ve got a few cool tricks you can show them! No advanced degrees needed.
Which would you choose? Diamonds, right? Well, maybe this needs rethinking.
Want to impress your friends with a cool science trick? Supercool water!
I love fireworks! Ever wonder how they work? With chemical compounds! Let’s look into why they glow in different colors.
I love the color blue! It’s not found as often naturally as I’d like. Someone’s probably written a doctoral thesis on the topic, but it seems that evolution favors other colors.
Our world is full of beautiful colors, so it’s easy to forget that the spectrum of light visible to humans is a teeny sliver of what’s out there in the universe. But wouldn’t it be fantastic to see in the dark? Scientists have done that, with mice!
Cool Science is my email newsletter where I share information about future science, new tech developments, as well as tools and resources for STEM at home. It arrives every two weeks and you’ll only hear from me. (And Louie)
Enter your email and I’ll share news about future science, how to do STEM activities, and the best books.
And more Louie!
