Smithsonian 10 Minute Science Experiments

From author, educator and television personality Steve Spangler

Steve Spangler is dedicated to finding the most creative ways to make science fun and interesting for kids. With more than 1,300 television appearances to his credit, Steve is a regular guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where she dubbed him “America’s Science Teacher.”

Most experiments can be done in 10 minutes or less

Though most projects typically take no more than 10 minutes to conduct, the book includes a number of experiments that extend the learning over an entire weekend. Each experiment includes step-by-steps instructions and photos designed to maximize comprehension and enjoyment.

50 experiments that teach the basics of physics and chemistry for ages 7 – 11

Experiments range from the simple, yet surprising (Q: How many drops of water can fit on a penny? A: More than you’d imagine!) to the more complex and mind-blowing (Extract DNA from a strawberry – or build a working movie projector with a box, a magnifying glass and a mobile phone!).

Learn the scientific method and more

Readers will learn critical thinking skills as well as how to use the scientific method to understand even more about what’s happening during each activity. Intriguing sidebars and trivia tidbits keep kids learning even when they’re not working in the “lab.”

A Super-Cool Experiment: How to Freeze Water Instantly

Shove two plastic water bottles in a big bowl of ice

Keep the bottles close to the center of the bowl and buried in the ice as much as possible.

Grab some rock salt!

Scatter a generous amount of rock salt all over the surface of the ice.

Monitor the temperature

Insert a thermometer into the ice between the bottles. The temperature will fall slowly over the next half hour or so. Add more ice and salt to keep the bottles buried. Once the temperature reaches 17 degrees F, move on to the next step.

Instant freeze!

After the water has been this cold for 10 minutes, gently remove a bottle from the ice. Strike the bottom of the bottle sharply against the table and ice crystals should immediately form near the top of the bottle and quickly move down through the liquid, turning it into a solid mass of ice. Twist open the cap of the second bottle and the water will freeze from the bottom up.

An excerpt from SOURDOUGH BY SCIENCE

Create Your Own Starter from Scratch

Although I strongly recommend embarking on sourdough bread baking with an established starter, once you know the ropes, you will no doubt be curious to try making your own starter. It’s fun! When grains are harvested from the fields, they are covered by millions of wild yeast and bacteria cells from the environment. They include the kinds of bacteria and yeasts that like to eat flour, and these are the ones you want in your starter. When flour is milled, these microorganisms wind up in the flour. Microorganisms are more plentiful in whole grain flour because the bran, which is on the outside of the kernel, is included. When the flour is mixed with water, the microorganisms begin to grow. What follows is a succession of different species dominating the culture, culminating in a set of yeast species that are suitable for raising dough. A collection of lactic acid bacteria will come along, too, benefiting from and helping the yeasts. Once this population of yeast and bacterial species is established, it is very stable. You will have created your very own microbial ecosystem!

What to Expect: While you are looking at your jar of flour paste and hoping it turns into a starter, you may be curious about what’s going on in there day by day. Here’s how the succession of species in the jar generally unfolds. During the first 1 or 2 days, the conditions in the culture are not actually great for wild yeast, which prefer an acidic environment, so they will just quietly hang out. Instead, bacterial species that like low-acid environments begin to grow and end up producing acid as a waste product.

After a couple of days you may see some bubbling as evidence that these pioneer bacterial species are growing. Eventually, they produce so much acid that they cannot grow anymore. But the acid-loving species needed for bread making are now provided with an environment in which they can grow.

You may see the starter do nothing for a day or two at this juncture. The species that like an acidic environment are slowly beginning to grow and further acidifying the ecosystem. This includes the kind of yeast that raise bread as well as lactic acid bacteria.

After being quiet for a few days, all of a sudden your starter may become active again with lots of bubbles and may rise dramatically. At this point you have successfully grown baking yeasts! During the next few refreshments, the baking yeasts will become dominant in the starter ecosystem, along with their lactic acid bacteria friends. Usually this entire process takes between 5 and 14 days.

Shape a Baguette

1. Flour the top of the dough and flip it onto a lightly floured counter.

2. Lift the top side of the dough and fold it to the center and press it there a second until it adheres.

Repeat with the bottom side. The area where you press will become the hinge in the next step.

3. Now fold it in half, bringing the top side onto the bottom. It may be necessary to press some gas out along the centerline so it can fold.

4. Pinch all along the seam and the ends to close it tightly.

5. Roll the loaf seam side down and rest a few minutes to seal the seam and to relax the dough a bit.

6. Stretch the baguette gently and evenly until it is 14 inches (36 centimeters) long.
