When it comes to a science fair idea, there are endless possibilities. There are lots of factors to consider, including the age of the child doing the project, how involved the teacher wants it to be, and most importantly, what the student is interested in learning about. It is important to have them choose a subject that they enjoy or they will lose interest and it will reflect poorly in their work. Judges want to see that the students have learned something from their project and can explain it fully in their own words. One interesting science fair idea for younger students is to test and see which brand of paper towel is the strongest when wet. To do this you will need to gather a few[..]

If you have had any time in a science class you know that it does not take long to figure out who gets it and who does not. There is no question that some students are just better at understanding the concepts of science than other kids. Those who are really good at science tend to think differently than the other kids. Many times they struggle socially because they are so different in the way that they think and process things. It is hard for young kids to understand their peers and how they can think so differently. Often time these kids end up getting separated from their peers group of friends and they learn to be alone. In some regards, this is the kind of people that they are[..]

As a child growing up, math and science were my favorite subjects. I enjoyed math and science so much that I earned a Bachelor's of Science in chemical engineering. When I tell people what my degree is, what I do for a living, and that I run an organization that promotes student achievement and career exploration in math and science, I get some of the same comments time and again--"you must be smart", "I hate math and/or science" or "I could never do well in math and science". No matter what audience or setting I am in, I hear more negative comments about math and science than positive ones. It is no wonder why some of the lowest test scores in standardized tests in this country are in[..]

And we thought air was weightless... Although we think that air is weightless, air does have weight. This air constantly exerts a force on our skin. We can't feel this weight because there is air on all sides, and therefore equal weight is exerted on our skin from all sides. The force air exerts on an object is called air pressure. This pressure can be demonstrated by simple homeschool science experiments. Air exerts a pressure of 14.7 psi (pounds per square inch) on an object, including our skin. This is the air pressure that a huge 1inch x 1 inch vertical column of air in the earth's atmosphere puts on you and me, or any object at sea level. This is called atmospheric pressure. I[..]

As a parent, whether or not you are good in science or if it just has been a really long time since you studied the topic, finding activities to help teach younger children might be difficult.

Due to modern teaching programs and cuts in school budgets, lab science has been left out of many elementary school curriculums. In addition to this, in order to increase the passing scores on the state and federal mandated standardized testing, schools have focused on teaching students straight from the textbook. Plus, with the economy failing, schools are having difficult times getting by, causing them to cut out the expensive costs of lab equipment and supplies needed by a science class. This has led many elementary and middle school children to fall behind in respect to having a true scope of the world. Luckily, there are options for the teachers that have to battle these conditions[..]

The problem is simple. Your child is in school and begins to study serious science. There is a good chance that the book and the instructor are not communicating sufficiently and your child is struggling. This can happen to the best of students.

Here's a little household science for kids. It's very simple and lots of fun: Let your child know that you are going to do a science experiment together. Fill the kitchen or bathroom sink with water. Find things from around the house (buttons, bottle caps, etc.) and see if they float. Ask your child before she puts something in the water if she thinks it's going to float. Advanced: when you're finished, put the items on a towel and bring them to the kitchen table. Examine the items while you log the results on a piece of paper. Keep it simple. Just make two columns-'Floats' and 'Sinks.' Put the chart in a folder. Later, when mom or dad comes home, or a neighbor comes over, get the folder[..]

Many parents are puzzled and taken aback by the number of topics and the complexity of today's science lessons for kids.

Despite the fact that our society values scientists, fewer and fewer students are going on to pursue any science learning beyond the minimum requirements for graduation and college entry. If you're hoping to help reverse this trend, and take science beyond being just a classroom subject, science fairs could be the solution. These are organized on local, state, national, and international levels. In them, students submit projects which are evaluated by a team of judges. Science fairs help students understand that breakthroughs and discoveries are based on learning what doesn't work, as much as they are about getting the right answer. They are as much about learning and having fun as[..]

When I first started speaking publicly about feng shui in 1992, I was very enthusiastic about promoting it as a natural science, mostly because I believed it to be so. I was also reacting to the mounting trendiness of feng shui, as it was being marketed by people who referred to it as "magic" or a spiritual practice linked to Tantric Buddhism. I could not stand these comparisons because I knew they were not true and I also felt they tarnished the integrity of feng shui. I did not want to turn off potential clients who could accept feng shui as real, but with a clear conscience that it is grounded in laws of nature and a time-tested methodology transcending Chinese culture. I wanted to[..]

Kids inherently have an immense curiosity to know about the natural world around them. As parents, we hear questions like 'Why does the moon change?', 'Why can't I see the germs?', 'How far is the Sun?', and hundreds of similar questions everyday that only children can ask. While sometimes it can be difficult to answer these in a way small children can understand, it is very important to encourage them to ask questions and to be curious. Children are most receptive when they are curious about something and that is the best opportunity to teach them. As grown-ups, most of us have lost that curious nature somewhere along the way as we grew up. Maybe it was the methods of traditional[..]

Not enough people have fun with science. It may be because of some preconceived notions that science is boring or hard, or complicated, or for those who are really smart. What many don't realize however is that some of our aversions towards things can be passed down to our children. For example, if all a child hears is that math is hard or that you hate doing math, they may also get the idea that it is hard and they should hate it. As a result, when they take up math in school, they do end up finding hard and hating it. This can also happen with science, and it is for this reason that parents are encouraged to have fun with science at home even while their children are very young. In[..]

Not all kids like all subjects, but it seems that science is the hardest for ordinary kids to get interested in. This could be because that a lot of parents themselves are not interested in science and kids seem to pick up on that. Teachers try everything that they can think of to make their subjects interesting and most of the time it works. Teachers who have passion for their subject are a lot more effective in getting kids interested in a subject than teachers who just sit and lecture a student. As a parent you might be wondering how you can get your child interested in science. The first step is to become active and interested in what your child is doing. This is probably the most[..]

Careers in Political Science (politics) cover a huge range of options. In fact, the American Political Science Association lists over fifty career options. By providing some understanding of what these roles involve in a practical sense, it is hoped to widen and improve the choice of political science contributors. As with many career options, the key to success is ensuring a solid understanding of the options and the likely risk and reward. Especially in relation to these roles, the public perception and the actual practical activities are often vastly different. The common key to political science activity is understanding and use of influence. While this often seems to involve a focus[..]

Serving a forensic science internship is one of the most exciting and rewarding times in a persons life who has chosen fornsics as a career choice. Its the first time that they actually get to put their training to work on real evidence that has been gathered from actual crime scenes. It is one thing to see in a classroom how things actually function in the lab with hypothetical cases and evidence but when the evidence is real and the actual conclusions that are being arrived at are to be used to solve a crime, it is a different story all together. How does a person that is interested in serving a forensic science internship find a lab to serve it in? The fact is that forensic science[..]
