Today, we’re going to do a little Microslide experiment where we investigate microbes on bread using impression sampling with Microslides. Our objective is to answer the following questions: Why is bread a microbe food? What [...]
Today's experiment is brought to you by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a great resource for all types of information, including fun and interesting information for young scientists. In this experiment, you’re going to [...]
Nearly everything around is an acid or a base, with the exception of water. Water is neither acidic nor basic, but rather neutral. Acidic substances tend to taste sour, for example, citrus fruits like lemons, [...]
Next Sunday is Mother’s Day, so in honor of all the mothers out there, we’ve got a chemistry experiment from Home Science Tools that doubles as a gift! (Hold your applause.) Yes, that’s right. Not [...]
It’s that time of year again where science fairs are in full swing, and future scientists are abuzz with great ideas. We find it fascinating to see what projects students come up with, and what [...]
In this fun glucose experiment, we’re going to test a variety of foods and drinks to determine which contain the most glucose. People with diabetes may find this information useful, so they know which foods [...]
What’s better than a demonstration that teaches kids the importance of washing hands and doubles as a cool experiment where they get to see germs grow? Nothing! Absolutely nothing, so grab a chair and some [...]
Here at Precision Laboratories, we’re all about chemistry, and you might have noticed from our wide range of pH test strips that we’re obsessed with pH. From our most basic litmus papers to our narrow-range [...]
Here’s a freebie for you to enjoy. Try this moldy bread experiment - let’s learn about microbes that like bread! First, read the background information, found here on pages 3, 5, & 6 of the [...]
It’s that time of year where science fairs are just around the corner, so to get you thinking about what you might do this year, here’s a fun experiment about mold growth on food! Let’s [...]
