Elementeo review: Learn chemistry basics with a card game
Description:
This “experiment” is a little different than usual. We’ll take a break from the usual Science Lab experiment to give a quick review of Elementeo, a card game that can be used as an educational tool to introduce basic chemistry concepts. It’s one of those rare games with fun gameplay as well as education.

Kinetic energy transfer with a drum and drumsticks
This experiment shows the concept of energy transfer, how kinetic energy can be transferred from one object to another. While a “drum” and “drum sticks” are required below, this experiment can actually be done with any drum-like and drumstick-like objects. A big inverted tupperware container and two big wooden spoons, for example, will work fine.

Hot air takes up more space than cold air
Description:
When heated, air will expand. When cooled, air will compress. Hot air takes up more space than cold air, as this experiment demonstrates.

Energy transfer experiment and super-ball-bouncing
Description:
This experiment shows the concept of energy transfer, how kinetic energy can be transferred from one object to another. It also demonstrates a basic concept of Einstein’s E=mc2 equation, about mass-energy equivalence.
