simple experiments w/magnets for kids age 11yrs old?

Take a compass and a bar magnet and let them trace the field lines. Or better yet, take a piece of paper with metal shaving on it, then place a magnet underneath. The shaving will align with the field lines. Pretty cool.

Go to http://www.pyzam.com/. I got some great things form this place. And I think I saw the magnet thing you were talking about on here too.

Hello Maggie,\n\nDon't worry: the egg drop project is a classic for science teachers, and, therefore, there are a lot of solutions out there on the web. Check out the following site, you'll find all the answers you need, and more: http://users.adelphia.net/~jberger5/eggdrop.html

im not sure but try searching thru any of these sites\n\nwww.everythingpreschool.com\n\nwww.enchantedlearning.com\n\nwww.teachervision.com\n\nwww.creativeteachingstrategies.com \n\n I'm also looking for some 3 science activities with preschoolers for my lesson plans & they must be related. \nGood luck, hope u find something!

The best project will be one that has some interest to the 5th grader. So my granddaughter likes animals. But my youngest boy likes photography. So a pinhole camera would bore my granddaughter but would have caught the interest of my son.\n\nThat being said... Here's an easy one. Go to a store and find some cheap analog clocks (clocks with hands) that run on a single AA battery. Then go to Radio Shack and get some battery holders and some "aligator clip leads" -- short wires with clips on either side. And get a bunch of different brand batteries of different sizes (if you are trying to get by simply, use only AA batteries and then you just need the clocks and the batteries).\n\nTake off the battery covers and hook up the battery holders to the clocks with the clipleads (unless you are only using AA batteries). Then put batteries in and see how long it takes for the clocks to run down. This may take a long time. If you are short on time, try this. Get a flashlight bulb at radio shack and put it across the battery with the clock. So this way the battery is running the clock and the flashlight bulb at the same time. Note the time on the the clock and check it every day to see when the clock stops. You can graph the results easily.\n\nQuestions:\nWhat lasts longer, a AA, a C, or a D battery?\nWhat brand of battery lasts longer?\nWhat lasts longer, a standard carbon-zinc battery or an alkaline battery? What is the cost difference per unit? Per run time?\n\nA little research on the internet about how batteries are built, and the different technologies (carbon-zinc, alkaline, nicad, NiMh, lithium, lead-acid) and you have a great project.

OK I'm cheating - I put this answer up a little while ago.\n\nA quick and dirty idea for a physics project would be one based on electromagnetism. Without knowing what grade you're targeting, a simple one that has a fair amount of pizzazz is to build a gauss rifle. Checkout http://sci-toys.com/scitoys/scitoys/magnets/gauss.html\n\nThe sci-toys site has some other pretty cool stuff that you might find useful as well.\n\nFor a more advanced example, you can make a small rail gun that applies similar principles but can have a much larger kick. Just do a search on "rail gun experiment".\n\nEnjoy!!

Sorry I'm the kind of teacher you parents despair of because thats the kind of home work I'd set.  My class have to design and make a thermal insulator to stop ice melting this week!!!\n\nTry this link it might help\nhttp://www.volcanolive.com/model.html

Look up ZanyBrainy.com (I hope they are still there) and check out Preschool.com for good educational toys. You want toys that stimulate the senses and react to a childs play. This all depends on age of your child of course. Hobbytown is also starting to carry more educational toys and is worth checking out!

I jsut did the same project with my 13 year old son.\nThis is what we used\n\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/plants/cell/anatomy.GIF\n\nwe had to make a model

A classic, but great visual experiment is sucking a hard boiled egg into an erlenmyer flask.  It is done by using the principles of the kinetic theory of matter.  \nAnother cool project might be doing something with dry ice.  Find a place that you can get dry ice and do fun stuff with it, like create smoke, put bubble solution in water and then drop in dry ice to make bubbles that, when you pop, let out white smoke.\n\nAnother idea might be to do some cool colorful reactions.  Make some dye molecules or something.\n\nHope one of these ideas works for you.

What age? Most kids of ECE age (2-4) are too young for any large organized projects and get plenty of dramatic (pretend) play with stuff as simple as a few hats and capes. I would not direct the play too much, it stiffles their own creativity and social skill building. You can do felt board stories and have them interact with the pieces, or demonstrate a puppet show and then leave the puppets out for them.
