Chemistry science fair projects have changed over the years; they've gotten a lot glitzier and much more technically involved. While this is has made it somewhat easier for parents, the modern trend in science fair projects tends to be to buy a science fair kit off the internet rather than make things yourself. We're going to cover old school style chemistry science fair projects that will set you apart. First, there's something to be said for the "do it yourself" method of doing science fair projects. A lot of really good scientific learning can be done with this, and the hands-on experience is excellent for associating science with the real world, particularly with chemistry. Some good hands-on chemistry science experiments: Salinity and Freezing temperatures Take a liter of water, carefully measure it out into ten glasses of 100 cc each, and add salt to each of the four glasses. Put no salt in the first glass, 10 grabs (about half a teaspoon) into sec...
Are your children naturally curious? Do they wonder how things work? Do they marvel at the stars and moon? Are they the hands-on type that are always taking things apart and putting them back together? To some parents, such habits may seem annoying, but kids who show a keen interest in acquiring scientific knowledge early in life eventually become intelligent, inquisitive teens and adults who don't take a simple "yes" or "no" for an answer. Their curious minds will take them far! Science for kids can be wonderfully fascinating! What child doesn't love performing experiments or building models during science class or for the school science fair? Parents should remember, however, that science doesn't have to be limited to the school classroom, and that at-home science activities can go a long way in keeping a child interested in the world around him. Truth is, kids can enjoy science just about anywhere, as long as parents are eager to guide. Scienc...
