Wildly Fun Science Projects [sciencetechnology-center.blogspot.com]
Don't look now, but it's science fair time - time to search for those fun science projects...that also have to be educational. They're not easy to find, but they do exist. Here are some wildly fun science projects. Some of these are so cool that you'll do them later just for the fun of it!
Finding a fun science project isn't impossible. Whether you're looking for an experiment or a demonstration, there are some great ideas that don't cost a lot, are easy to do, and will teach your child basic scientific practices. We have four sons, and over the years we've done more projects than we can count. Here are some of our boys' favorites:
o Find out which citrus fruit has the most Vitamin C? Make a solution with iodine and starch (it's EASY to do!), and test different kinds of citrus juices to see which contains the most vitamin C.
o Take the shell of an egg - without boiling it. This wildly fun project is so cool you'll do it over again for th e sheer fascination of it! Soak a raw egg in vinegar, and the shell will come off. The egg membrane is so tough that the shell-less egg will bounce!
o Show how yeast gives of gas. Place a yeast and sugar solution into a bottle, put a balloon on top, and watch the yeast have so much gas that the balloon blows up!
o Watch static electricity work. Grab your wool socks, make a little piece of aluminum foil bounce between your finger and a pie plate.
o Use toy cars to find out about friction! Set up a hot wheels track, and find out how far they will roll across different floor surfaces.
o Are two ears better than one? Hide a ticking clock in a room, and send your friends in to find it - half using both ears, and half with one ear blocked with a cotton ball. (Birthday party idea?!)
Related Wildly Fun Science Projects TopicsQuestion by Brett A: Can someone explain how science is in direct conflict with religion? I see science as stepping around religion to understand the way things interact with each other. Whether it's molecules, people, or weather systems. I've seen answers indicating that some groups find science to contradict "insert believed deity here". Best answer for Can someone explain how science is in direct conflict with religion?:

Facts are neutral, it is us humans who give them value
Answer by Fdfdfd
because you said it yourself, a lot of things science has proven goes against a lot of things that it says in the bible.
Answer by Jay
Science in most ways is its own religion. thus scientologist like tom cruz who belive in evolution and the big bang theory. which emplies that the universe was created by a freak accident not a divine force. thus saying that "god" does not exist.
Answer by kend
real science isn't
Answer by little birdy
It is partly because science proves the earth was not created in 6 days like the bible says. All the rest of the arguments stem from there....
Answer by arksisvondraken
God created all of these things. Science and spirituality are one in the same. Just because science goes against what HUMANITY believes about God, does not mean it contradicts God.

I don't know how you can't understand this, science suggest the origin of man was was not made from dirt..there that's your conflict. Just remember this, science is fact, religion is faith
Answer by MasterMinD misses Sarah
Religions make assumptions about phenomenons in the natural world and attempt to pass them off as facts. When science through its natural course end up unearthing the real scientific facts behind those phenomenons, it contradicts those purported by religions and that is when they begin to conflict. Why else was Galileo persecuted for discovering that the Earth is NOT the center of the universe as the Bible says?
Answer by Rico JPA
Science isn't in conflict with religion. Science is in conflict with narrow and literal interpretations of certain scriptures. Gregor Mendel was a Catholic Monk whose work with genetics supply the missing mechanism that showed how natural selection could work. Father Georges LeMaitre first proposed the Big Bang Theory. The list of Nobel Laureates in the Sciences and Medicines are filled with a disproportionate number of Jews, not people like Einstein, born to Jewish parents but a pantheist (like me!), but actually practicing Jews. Taken a look at the numbers of med students and engineering students who are Hindu lately? Buddhism has no conflicts with science, and, in fact, some quantum theory seems to mesh nicely with Buddhist views. Don't let loud fundamentalists stand in for the whole of religion.

Like the other poster said, facts do NOT fit into what our theories are. They are there for us to observe. We cannot observe everything, but what we can observe we can try to conclude from. There are literally hundreds of ways to interpret different facts (not all facts, but a good many of them), religion can very well be one of them. I know many scientists who believe that science obviously points to what they believe, others see science as it is and believe based on that. Neither are necessarily a religion/non-religious, they simply have different ways of going about what they believe. It's VERY important then, to be respectful of everyone's beliefs. Anything scientific isn't 100% right because we humans lack certain things to make up perfection in science (e.g. we weren't there a hundred thousand years ago).
Answer by Kip
I don't see science as being in conflict with religion. I think some people fear that some people try to use science to further and agenda against religion.
