Orange Slices

This is a cool science trick that will let you know the number of sections in an orange (or other citrus fruit) before you slice it. It makes a fun trick that seems like magic, but is actually just a matter of careful observation.

Seed Search

When an animal reproduces, its offspring eventually wander away to find their own home. With a plant, once it starts to grow, it is usually stuck in that spot. That makes it important for plants to have ways to spread their seeds over a large area. In this video, we will explore some of the different ways plants accomplish this.

Building a Nest

This experiment is one that we used for teaching about birds back when I worked in the Education Department at the Memphis Pink Palace Museum. On our trip, we went by to say Hi to old friends, which brought back tons of great memories. This is one of the fun things my brain dredged up.
