 A Tale of Two MummiesSome people think of mummies as scary monsters, but kids science knows better. A mummy is actually any body that has been dried out; this can happen in ice, in acid bogs, and in the desert. By using science to study these ancient bodies, we can learn the stories of people who lived thousands of years ago! Cooking up Chemistry in the Kitchen!Hey kids, when most people hear the word "chemistry", they think of creepy laboratories with bubbling beakers of toxic goo. But chemistry can happen any time two different things react together to make something new, and there are fun science experiments that you can do right in your kitchen! Spectacular SpinnersHey kids, can you think of something an animal makse that can stretch 1½ times its original size, is incredibly lightweight, and is stronger that steel? The answer is spider silk! The World's Strongest Animal!Hey kids, if you held a contest to find the strongest animal in the world, who do you think the winner would be? Would it be an elephant? Or maybe a giant squid? If we made all the animals the same size to make it a fair contest, the winner is an animal that can lift 850 times its own weight. Imagine carrying around 850 of your friends! A Romp Through a RainforestHey kids, do you know where you can find more living things in one place than anywhere else in the world? In a tropical rainforest! Masters of DisguiseHey kids, have you ever played hide-and-seek? Imagine if you could stand in plain sight, but nobody could ever find you! That’s the way some animals live every day.
When an animal has colours and markings to help it blend in with something or look like something else, it’s called camouflage. Camouflaged animals are masters of disguise! Dinosaurs in My BackyardEveryone knows that all the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, right? Wrong! The truth is, dinosaurs are alive and well today, and living in disguise – right in your own backyard. Amazing AtomsHey kids, here's some science fun to try in your kitchen: take a piece of food, like cheese, and cut it in half. Then you take one half, and cut it in half again. And again. And again. Eventually, if you keep cutting, you'll end up with a piece that's too small to cut anymore. There is no knife sharp enough to do it! Making Waves with SoundHey kids, have you ever wondered why you hear thunder after you see lightning? Or why the horn on a car sounds different when it’s coming toward you than when it’s moving away? Or why things sound different under water? It all has to do with sound waves! Does caning help in your kids learning to be more disciplined?Caning kids as a method to discipline them is still widely prevalent in many parts of Asia. Many times parents and teachers resort to caning, to straighten up unruly kids who will not modify their behaviour with any other softer approaches. But does this approach really help? or does it reinforce the thought that violent action is required to get what you want?
