Every few months a puzzle using simple pictures goes viral on social media. People have a great time solving it without even realizing that they’re doing *shudder* algebra! Don walks you through how to solve one and shows how it’s actually simple high school math.

Even simple robots have complicated insides. By taking them apart, you can begin to learn how they function. In this video, Don breaks down an old, broken robot to show how its parts and pieces work together.

In this Easter-themed video, Becky and MJ show off some science you can do with leftover candy. In the first experiment, you can use candy to learn about your sense of taste. In the second, gummi candy will demonstrate water absorption.

Static electricity is more than just a tiny shock on dry days. With a little bit of friction, you can use static electricity to make things float. In this video, Don shows you what you need and how to make it work.

Oil and water don’t mix, while soap can mix with both of them. Chemically speaking, soap can latch onto both oil and water molecules. This property means that soap moves water around, and in this video, Don shows you how you can use it to power a boat.

It is always fun to make slime, and there are so many variations. Adding different ingredients to the basic chemical reaction can create new, fun varieties. In this video, Becky and MJ demonstrate how to make fluffy rainbow slime.

Most plastic is made out of petroleum, but more environmentally friendly plastic can be made from plant materials. In this video, Don shows you how to use things from around the kitchen to make a very basic plant-plastic.

Instruments create sound by changing how air moves. Instruments can be fancy and expensive or made from supplies you have around the house. In this video, Becky, MJ, and David demonstrate a real instrument and then show you how to make your own.

Blowing bubbles is a lot of fun, and the more you have, the more fun it is. In this video, Becky and MJ show you how you can use simple supplies from around the house to make snakes out of bubbles.

Animals that live in the Arctic and Antarctic have to stay warm in their cold climates. Many of them, like whales and seals, have a thick layer of fat called blubber that helps. By making your own blubber glove, with Becky and her daughter MJ, you can feel how well it keeps the heat in and the co...

Rocks come in three categories: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. They move through all three categories in the environment, changing from one to the other. In this video, Becky and MJ show you how to model these categories and their changes using Starburst candy.

Milk is a mixture of many different substances, and two of them don’t mix well under normal circumstances: water and fat. With a little kitchen chemistry, it is possible to separate them out again. In this video, Becky and MJ demonstrate the method and its colorful results.

Diet soda and Mentos is one of the most famous science demonstrations out there. Do you know how it works? In this video, Becky and MJ perform the demo and then explain where all that mess comes from.

Technology may look simple on the outside, but in reality, there is a lot going on underneath. DVD players have a lot of different parts that allow us to watch movies with them. In this video, Don takes apart an old DVD player and shows you how it works.

Newton’s First Law of Motion states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, while an object in motion tends to stay in motion. This property is called “inertia.” In this video, Becky and MJ demonstrate two ways to explore inertia with a challenge: can you get an egg into a cup without touch...

One of the most noticeable exhibits at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is the Fireworks of Glass sculpture. It replicates fireworks using blown glass, and using some simple materials you can replicate fireworks at home in a glass of water. In this video, Becky and MJ show you how.

Baking soda and vinegar are a classic science experiment. They can be used for more than volcanoes, though. In this video, Becky and MJ show you how to use them to make monster-face balloons.

For millennia, people all over the world have looked up at the stars and connected them like dots to make pictures and tell stories. Stargazing is fun, but you can only do it on a clear night. In this video, Don shows you how to make a tool to view a constellation whenever you want.

Becky and her daughter MJ discovered a fun experiment you can do with just a can of soda and a bag of Skittles. They walk through the process and explain how the ingredients in the soda create a mini volcano in a cup.

This short video shows you how to use colored beads and a pipe cleaner to make a bracelet that represents pi. You can make it as long or as short as you want!

Learn a simple recipe for a no-bake chocolate chip pie to celebrate 3/14, Pie Day!

Animals that live in the Arctic and Antarctic have to stay warm in their cold climates. Many of them, like whales and seals, have a thick layer of fat called blubber that helps. By making your own blubber glove, with Becky and her daughter MJ, you can feel how well it keeps the heat in and the co...
