What happens when an experiment goes completely wrong? Great science, that's what! Take a look at some of the great science blunders, and how, with a little imagination, they were turned into amazing discoveries. From electric circuits to the hunt for dinosaur bones, some of the best science happens when you least expect it.
Bounce Slime – Children find out that in science discoveries are sometimes made by accident. From time to time, scientists make new discoveries while looking for other things. Using the scientific method keeps the children organized while they experiment to find the ultimate bounce slime recipe.
Fossil Find – Stumble onto one of the “biggest” discoveries of the 20th century as we take a look at creatures both great and small from a time long ago. Go on a fossil hunt to find out how much of our knowledge about dinosaurs and fossils came about by chance. Everyone takes home their own Fossil Museum Board.
Boomerangs – Travel to the land down under to discover science that flies back in your face! Children will look at the shape of wings and use a boomerang to discover some of the amazing properties of flight and awesome power of air pressure.
Electric Frogs – Explore electricity and find out that even some of the objects they use everyday had some very interesting beginnings. Meet Galvani and Volta, two scientists whose argument over a frog changed the way we think about electricity. Our Electric Frog Maze Game helps the children learn about energy, electricity, batteries, and simple circuits.
Tricky Sticky – Children learn the science behind pressure sensitive adhesives and one of the most profitable science blunders ever, the sticky note. They investigate sticky toys on their way to becoming PSA experts. They take aim and put the sticky pig through its paces during a game of pig splat bull's-eye. They then make some profit of their own by collecting Gizmo bucks with their tricky sticky hands.
