PROJECT IDEAS

Can a potato be used to generate electricity?

​

You only need a potato, a couple nails and a piece of wire to make a potato battery. It's a fun science project that helps show the way things work in a battery by using everyday items you see around the house.

Cold Pack Chemistry: Where Does the Heat Go?

​

Instant cold packs are popular for treating minor bumps and bruises. These packs are not pre-cooled—you just squeeze the cold pack and its starts to get cold. So how does it work?
