Even non-scientists find great joy in dropping stuff in water to see if it floats or sinks. Fans of David Letterman are quick to point out one of Dave&#39;s favorite segments called &quot;Will It Float?&quot; Here&#39;s the latest float or sink challenge: Why do lemons float in water but limes sink? Think you know the answer? Not so quick...</p> Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:26:00 -0700Soda Surprisehttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/floating-lemons-and-sinking-limesHelmet Safetyhttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000194http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/content/science-video/bike-helmet-mythSteve and Jack uncover which helmets really protect your melon.Would you voluntarily run at a full sprint headfirst into a brick wall?<p>Raleigh Burt, an 8th grader from Sargent Junior High in Monte Vista, Colorado asked this question: Would you voluntarily run at a full sprint headfirst into a brick wall? Now, think of sitting on a bicycle without a helmet, and then tip over with a little over a second to intervene before your bare head hits the ground. Which sounds worse? This question and his amazing research lead Raleigh Burt to win the 2005 Junior Division Best Individual Science Project for the State of Colorado. Despite the fact that bicycle helmets are considered the single best means of protecting cyclists from the leading causes of head injuries and death, many people still choose not to wear a helmet. That is the choice many riders make to become one of the 67,000 cyclists who will suffer a head injury this year.</p> Mon, 01 Mar 2010 15:00:00 -0700Helmet Safetyhttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000194Ice Skating Spinhttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/ice-skating-spinhttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/content/science-video/ice-skating-spin1The secrets to an ice skater's spin are revealed.How do ice skater's control the speed of their spin?<p>Ice skaters are not only talented on the ice, but they also have a great understanding of physics as the jump, twist and spin. If you've ever seen seen an ice skater start to spin slowly on the tip of their skate and then speed up into an incredible blur of a spin, the secret is pure science. The best part is that you don't have to be on the ice to test out the science behind the spin. Find an office chair that spins easily and a few weights and you're ready to make yourself dizzy sick. But it's all in the name of science.</p>Mon, 01 Mar 2010 14:52:35 -0700Ice Skating Spinhttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/ice-skating-spinLeprechaun Secrets Revealedhttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/st-patricks-day-sciencehttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/content/science-video/leprechaun-secrets-revealedThe mysteries of Leprechauns have been discovered!Liven up the holiday with a little green science!<p>Don't confuse green science with Irish green science.

But this tornado-like effect is not limited to just the air. A fire tornado or fire whirl is just like a tornado but it's made of fire. As the heated air from the fire rises, strong air currents (often whipping through the trees) cause the air molecules to spin (often referred to as angular or rotational momentum) which shapes the flame into the shape of a tornado.</p> Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:55:00 -0700Fire Tornadoeshttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/fire-tornadoHow to Make Super Bubble Solutionhttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000028http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/content/science-video/how-to-make-super-bubble-solutionDiscover the secret to the perfect bubble solution!There's something magical about a bubble. <p>There's something magical about a bubble.

All of the nails have to be balanced at the same time and cannot touch anything but the top of the nail that is stuck in the base. If you're really ambitious, you can try your luck at our large-scale version using landscape nails and a friend as the base. Enough of this idle chatter... get balancing!</p>Mon, 18 Jan 2010 20:14:00 -0700Balancing Nailshttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/00000083Tea Bag Rocket - Convection Currentshttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/experiment/tea-bag-rockethttp://www.stevespanglerscience.com/content/science-video/tea-bag-rocket-convection-currentsThe science of hot air and convectionA great after dinner science stunt using a tea bag and matchesThe Tea Bag Rocket is really an adaptation of a classic science demonstration called the Ditto Paper Rocket. If you're old enough to have experienced Ditto paper, you'll recall the bluish-purple ink and that unforgettable smell of freshly printed copies. (Come to find out... both the Ditto machine solvent and the ink were highly toxic, but no one seemed to care back then.) Each piece of Ditto paper had a sheet of tissue paper that separated the two-part form, and it was this discarded piece of paper that kids used to make the "rocket." Since Ditto paper is a thing of the past, science teachers found a simple replacement - a tea bag.
