This has got to be THE easiest most satisfying experiment ever (and one that’s perfect for Maycember learning!)

Once the water starts flowing, gravity keeps it moving through the straw. Experiment with different straw lengths to see what water level the water will stop flowing at. 💦

What is your favorite experiment to try this busy time of year? Drop a comment below!

Why does the world need more STEM chapter books wi

Why does the world need more STEM chapter books with smart female heroes?

Girls interest in STEM can drop by nearly 50% between ages 8-15! 😳

By middle school, many girls are already less likely than boys to describe themselves as “smart” in science - even when grades are equal.

80% of STEM professionals say early encouragement matters in whether kids pursue science later in life.

That’s why myself - along with my STEM friends - write (and often times self-publish) STEM adventures books.

Do you wish more shelves at book fairs and libraries had middle grade science adventures? Let’s chat in the comments below💕

Why does this look fake? 👀

👩‍🔬Here’s another neat air pressure trick to try at home or show your students this week - lifting a balloon with fire🔥 In this demo, when the glass is placed over the flame and the oxygen depletes, the flame extinguishes. But the real trick is when the air inside the glass cool, lowering the air pressure, and the higher pressure in the balloon pushes inside the glass on its own! 🤯

(How come so many of my weekly science reels have a balloon and fire?😂🤡 )

So..it’s not an illusion - it’s science!

Comment “FIRE” below and I’ll send you another easy fire-y science trick you can try with adult supervision of course!)

Because somewhere along the way, too many kids start to believe science isn’t for them, that making messes isn’t OK, and that tackling hard things was out of their reach…👩‍🔬

Why won’t this can fall over? 🤯

This is not only an easy physics experiment, but also a neat science party trick! 🎉 In this science demo, the added water redistributes the can’s mass making the center of gravity lower than it is with an empty can! That’s why it stays tipped over!👩‍🔬

(How come so many magic tricks looks like science? Because in many ways they are! 🪄)

Comment “MAGIC” below and I’ll send you another magic science trick you can try at home (or for your next party!) 💕

You’ll be surprised by the answer…🥳

Science proves that joy tends to show up when you’re engaged in something meaningful, connected to people, and not just chasing the quick hits of pleasure in life.👩‍🔬

(That’s why I show up here on Instagram as a mom wearing a tie dye labcoat… because I want to show you how easy it is to share the joy of science with your family and your classrooms 🫶.)

Comment “JOY” below and I’ll send you one of my favorite easy science experiments that has me cracking up. You’ll be surprised how simple it is to share joy💕

When you need an easy way to celebrate Earth Day on April 22 check out this easy science demo! 🌍

Oceans cover 71% of Earth’s surface and help regulate the planet’s temperature thanks to water’s high heat capacity.

(And yes, I always wince when I pop a balloon with fire 🔥🤣)

Comment “EARTH” below for more fun demonstrations to celebrate our planet and take care of it and each other this year 💕🫶
