The science contest is online and ready for you to upload your science experiments and projects to. Once a project is uploaded I'll have it posted in the main area of the contest website. Then, it will be open to the public to vote on. This means that you ...

Summer eCamp

WHAT ARE YOUR KIDS DOING THIS SUMMER? Challenge your kids with a hassle-free Science Camp, right in your own backyard! We give your kids a full summer science camp that they can do at home. It's packed with loads of totally fun K-8 activities that are also educational. You're kids ...

Unit 1: Mechanics

In 1666 Newton did his early work on his Three Laws of Motion. To this day, those laws still hold true. There has been some allowances for really big things (like the cosmos) and for really small things (like the atom). Other than that, ...

Unit 2: Motion

We're going to study velocity, acceleration, and Newton's three laws of motion in this unit. You'll get to throw things, build g-force accelerometers, and much more as you uncover the basis of all physics in our crash-course in projectile motion. Here's what you need to do to so ...

Unit 3: Matter

Atoms are the building blocks of all matter. These odd little fellows make up tables, buildings, chihuahuas and even you. They are impossibly small and yet absolutely vital for all matter and all interaction between matter. They are extremely mysterious and constantly offer new puzzles for science to tackle. And ...

Unit 4: Energy 1

Energy is the mover and shaker of the universe. Heat from the Sun, sounds from your radio, riding a bike and watching a movie are all expressions of different forms of energy. As you sit there reading this, there is energy flowing all around you in the form of light ...

Unit 5: Energy 2

In Unit 4, we began our journey to understanding energy. We discussed the fact that energy is the ability to do work. We defined work as moving an object over a distance against a force. We defined power as the amount of work done over time. We also defined a ...

Unit 6: Sound

Sound is a form of energy. Energy is the ability to move something over a distance against a force, remember? What is moving to make sound energy? Molecules. Molecules are vibrating back and forth at fairly high rates of speed, creating waves. Energy moves from place to place by waves. Sound ...

Unit 7: Astrophysics

Astrophysics combines our knowledge of light (radiation), chemical reactions, atoms, energy, and physical motion into one. The things we're going to study in this unit borders on sci-fi weird, but I assure you it's all the same stuff real scientists are studying. This unit is broken into two sections: easy-and-fun, ...

Unit 8: Chemistry

This unit on Chemistry is chocked full of demonstrations and experiments for two big reasons. First, they're fun. But more importantly, the reason we do experiments in chemistry is to hone your observational skills. Chemistry experiments really speak for themselves, much better than I can ever put into ...

Unit 9: Light

Energy can take one of two forms: matter and light (called electromagnetic radiation). Light is energy in the form of either a particle or a wave that can travel through space and some kinds of matter. Low energy light (called radio waves) can have wavelengths longer than a football field, while ...

Unit 10: Electricity

Electrons are strange and unusual little fellows. Strange things happen when too many or too few of the little fellows get together. Some things may be attracted to other things or some things may push other things away. Occasionally you may see a spark of light and sound. The light ...

Unit 11: Magnetism

Did you know that if you cut a magnet in half to try to separate the north from the south pole, you'll wind up with two magnets, each with their own north and south poles? Turns out that the poles are impossible to separate! Now that you’ve spent a few ...

Unit 12: Alternative Energy

Solar cells, wind turbines, and hydroelectric power plants (like the Hoover dam) are all examples of alternative energy sources. Although lots of folks still argue about what's considered 'alternative' or not, the general idea is that the sources produce the same energy at less cost, both money-wise and environmentally. In ...

Math

We’re going to break down the steps to really getting to know numbers and put it into a form that both you and your kids can use everyday, including shopping at grocery stores, baking in the kitchen, working on the car, and figuring out your taxes. It’s ...

Check out some feedback from other parents…

I found Supercharged Science a year ago. I liked the concepts and the experiments looked fantastic, but was a little hesitant about the price. WHAT WAS I THINKING? After mediocre experiments in other science programs, I finally ‘gave in’ and signed up for the eScience summer camp ...
