                         Cool Science Tricks

                      [CoolScienceTricksLogo2]



This website of Cool Science Tricks started out as a fun project with
my kids during the Christmas holidays (2005). We wanted to put
together a list of quick and fun and fascinating things to try, such
as science experiments or games or puzzles.

We deliberately chose not to put these activities in any particular
order. Instead, as you scroll through each page we hope that various
interesting things will catch your eye and that you'll have fun with
them.
