Thanks for adding these simple experiments to the main site…Before it was so hard to find them..I love that you have them all under getting started…
I love the video

I’m terrible with projects and this was my first try with your material. What didn’t work at first was a great opportunity to problem solve with my kids.

I LOVE IT!!!!! (Son)
