 KUSA - What I first saw in Tanzania was much of what I'd seen in postcards. I witnessed amazing wildlife while on safari. I enjoyed the sandy beaches and sunsets on the beautiful island of Zanzibar. But the most important part of my trip was when I left the other tourists behind. More... |

hundred years old and is guaranteed to fool your friends. The
original demonstration used a hard-boiled egg and a milk
bottle.</p>

seeing at this year's Summer Olympics. The name of the game in so
many of the sports is to reduce any opposing resistance. In some
instances, the athlete can actually use other competitors to block
the wind (drafting in cycling). What does any of this have to do
with floating beach balls and flying toilet paper? That fast-moving
air flowing around the object creates an area of lower pressure and
gives the athlete an advantage. Thanks Bernoulli.</p>

with germs, bacteria, viruses and other creepy crawly things. It is
hard to teach kids about germs when you can't see them. But,
what if kids could play with giant germs or could even see
simulated germs on their hands and anything they touch?</p>

try experimenting with Energy Beads or UV Beads. These indicator
beads change color when exposed to UV light. It's an amazing
way to test the effectiveness of sun screen or to see if UV light
is really blocked out by filters in sun glasses.</p>

and serve as a warning for an an incredible forest fire that will
be unlike anything the state of Colorado has ever experienced. You
can't blame this one on drought, but instead a tiny little black
beetle living just under the bark. According to Colorado State
forestry officials, an estimated 750,000 acres of trees have been
killed by the Mountain Pine Beetle' -- and this is just the
beginning.</p>

countries in the same room for three days with a team of
instructors who are over-the-top excited about teaching science?
Enthusiasm for making science fun spreads like a virus. Concerns
about test scores, curriculum changes or the ever-changing
pressures of being a teacher seem to vanish. For three days, these
teachers put their worries aside and focus on ways to bring wonder,
discovery and exploration back into their classrooms. Here's a
glimpse at what happened at Science in the Rockies this year...</p>

fire... but who would think of using large steel ball bearings to
make fire?</p>

training taught by Steve Spangler enjoy a potato gun battle in the
early morning hours on the last day of the workshop.</p>

to pour soft drinks by turning a 2-liter bottle of soda upside
down. The bottle is just too heavy. So Jack decided to use the
power of Mentos and Diet Coke to fill 6 glasses at once and solve
his problem.</p>

formula for fun on 4th of July. Steve celebrates the Fourth with
some liquid fireworks and a new 4th of July tradition... watermelon
carving.</p>
