Because it is #DNADay on April 25, you may wish to try this experiment that may be found on our "Science Smarts" blog at

It’s "ingenious"!

…As for my eldest two, I quickly figured out the best way to entertain them whilst I studied was to involve them in what I was doing #STEMatHome - I’ve continued this through all the years - and yeah, correlation/causation argument, but the child on the left earned a string of 8s in GCSEs this year…

Last week’s #FridayScience was admittedly not great. This week’s density gradient went better. (At least until the glass of maple syrup, milk, colored water, dish soap, vegetable oil, and isopropanol was stirred up and promptly dumped on the table, floor, and 7yo) #stemathome

Hey #CRISPR Twitter! I'm putting together a brief talk for my town's 8th graders on CRISPR applications (and bioethics, which I'll ask about later). What is either your favorite application or the strangest you've heard of? What would impress/surprise a 14yo? #STEM #stemathome

I taught my 7yo how to play cribbage a few weeks ago because her teacher said it counted as a math game. Now she’s destroying me with hands like this. #STEMatHome

We are about to bless our neighborhood with hundreds of baby mantises. #STEMathome

My 8th grader was gathering data to assess bubble integrity with multiple soap mixtures he made, but when he blew bubbles himself, his breath was too variable. Our solution was not perfect, but at least a bit better. #STEMatHome

Physics experiments at home—the balloon is part of a homemade “hovercraft”. I am not going to tell you how long it took us to piece all of this together...#stemathome

Today’s chemistry fun—making flammable hydrogen soap suds by mixing magnesium with a sodium hydrogen sulfate solution. Playing with fire is fun! #STEM #STEMathome

My sister gave my 9yo a chemistry set for Xmas, and today was our first go at using it: making tin dendrites. #STEMef="/hashtag/STEMatHome" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#STEMatHome #STEM

True, the graffiti robot is a bit of a stretch as a “robot”, but when your kid finishes a project like this and exclaims “When can we build another robot?!”, you don’t question it. #STEMatHome

Want to spark curiosity and creativity? Conducting science experiments at home is the perfect way to dive into STEM! Explore, learn, and have fun with simple experiments that ignite passion for discovery. Who says science is only for the lab? #stemathome #science #curiosityunleashed #engirlneer

Try it yourself! 👩‍🔬 Learn how to make Elephant Toothpaste at home, just like we make it at SAfG.

Just remember to wear your safety goggles!

@CU_MechAero has set up remote desktop access to our computer labs and @Carleton_IT has added our group to Carleton's virtual desktop infrastructure so students will have full access to all of our modelling and simulation tools. #stemathome #RemoteTeaching 🖥️

The first meeting of our @CU_MechAero Capstone Aircraft Design Project is always exciting. Each year we have a team of 20-30 students working together on a multi-year aircraft design project. Since the early 2000s, we have focused on drones of all types and sizes. #stemathome
