Light: Particle or Wave?
The nature of light has always been a mystery to scientists. Light has been observed to behave as both a wave and a particle. This dual nature of light has been debated and researched for many years. The double slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments that demonstrate the dual nature of light. In the double-slit experiment, a beam of light is passed through two slits, creating an interference pattern on a screen behind the slits. When a detector is placed behind each slit to mea

Earth's Magnetic Fields
Earth’s magnetic field is a fascinating natural phenomenon that has been studied for centuries. At the core of the Earth lies a molten iron core that generates the planet’s magnetic fields. These fields are crucial in shielding our planet from harmful cosmic radiation, which would otherwise have catastrophic effects on life as we know it. The magnetic field is also responsible for the northern and southern lights seen in polar regions. The direction of the magnetic fields is from the South Po

Mini Workshop: Inflating a Balloon With Yeast
Yeast is an amazing microbe with a fun (and stinky) ability to belch gas which can inflate bread -- and balloons. This quick lab can be done in small groups to explore the power of yeast or as a demonstration to introduce the topic of yeast or gas pressure. It's fun, cheap, and only takes a half hour (at most) to get results. If you want to take it from demonstration to experiment, there are experiment prompts and dot grid paper to brainstorm possibilities and room to design experiments.
