Let there be light! At the flick of a switch, a light bulb can light or illuminate an entire room, but what else is happening? One the basic laws of physics, the conservation of energy, tells us that ...
Gardeners appreciate the value of compost. Called “gardener’s gold,” it adds valuable nutrients to the soil. Many gardeners make their own compost, but others often fail because they put their food sc ...
Different kinds of light have different wavelengths. Different colors of visible light also have different wavelengths and produce different thermal energy. Investigate how color affects temperature.I ...
This project will examine which type of insulation holds in the most heat. We will compare the effectiveness of styrofoam coolers, traditional coolers, and insulated bags.It is an educational content ...

Students will investigate whether the color of the candles matter in burn duration and whether 2 candles of identical mass and weight but different dimensions (one is tall/thin; but the other is fat/s ...
Heat energy is constantly being transferred from one substance to another. Heat energy always moves from the hotter material to the colder material. When you hold an ice cube, it might feel like the c ...
An engine is a machine used to transform one kind of energy into another to produce work. In this project, we'll learn how to make a rubber band heat engine, a type of engine that converts thermal ene ...
