Soap Science Use Chemistry to make real soap! This method is easy and hands
on - each kid makes his own batch!
World's Simplest (and cheapest) Motor (external link, you can probably get plenty of wire scraps free from shops that build electric
motors and generators. Follow the instructions carefully in the fifth photo and substitute sand paper for the knife
-easier for kids.) A video of another motor and how it works HERE. A similar motor HERE.
Soda Pop Science (Three awesome projects from those "Better Living through Chemistry" people -external link. Note:
I have reformatted these projects as a Word document handout that is a little easier to use. E mail me if you want a
