Fall Science Project: Leaf Chromatography

You may have started to see a few leaves on the ground as the seasons start to change, and we love to help our students identify and understand the science that’s all around them. This easy, fall-themed science project will help your students understand the science behind this colorful season.

Viral Science Experiment: Elephant Toothpaste

Our mission as an organization has always been to make students excited about learning, and it remains a top priority today. Some of the best ways we can get students invested in their learning are by getting creative in the classroom and letting our students be involved in their learning. Conducting experiments, whether as a demonstration or as a hands-on project, can do just that. Mobile Ed has a simple recipe for this classic chemistry experiment filled with ingredients you might already have in your classroom. Start amazing your students with this fascinating classroom experiment!

Our educators love science and springtime, and we love bringing science to your classroom! Mobile Ed Productions, Inc. has a new science project for your classroom that will fascinate and educate your students at the same time: a pop-bottle terrarium. With this project, you can initiate discussions about ecosystems or use this project as a tool to discuss more complex concepts such as the water cycle and photosynthesis.

It’s time to bid farewell to the snowflakes and get out our umbrellas -- spring is finally here! And as we all know, with April showers come May flowers...but where do those April showers come from, anyway?  We’re here to help you out with a quick refresher on the water cycle just in time to make the most of those rainy days -- along with a few activities to make the time go by faster!

Take a look at all seven videos in our Building Up STEAM series of DIY projects and activities for you and your kids, perfect for a rainy day, an in-school activity, or an after-school enrichment.  Make your own ice cream, levitate a ping pong ball, seemingly defy the laws of physics, and more! These are all activities that educate while also entertaining students, which makes learning enjoyable and interactive!

We're really putting the A in STEAM with the Music Maker!  This exhibit gets kids working together to create cool music without needing to know how to play an instrument.  Check it out!

Here's a super fun project you can make this weekend!  Handy Dan the Junkyard Man and his sidekick Junkbot will show you how you can turn some common household items into an awesome rocket.  Watch this video to learn how to blast off into the atmosphere in no time!

Another terrific robotics exhibit at the STEAM Museum features a classic robot that has been teaching kids the basics of programming logic for decades.  See how effective this robot from the 1980's will be with your modern students in this quick video.  If you've never programmed a robot before, this is the best place to start!

We have several robotics exhibits at the STEAM Museum, including line tracking robots that work with tablet computers.  Kids of all ages can program these tiny robots not with lines of code, but with lines of color!  See how they work in this video.
