Valentine's Day Science

Fun ways to bring science into the holiday.

Sometimes two people just have a certain "chemistry" in their relationship... what better time to explore the chemistry behind love than Valentine's Day? Okay, so Steve Spangler doesn't really have a special formula for the science of relationships, but he does have some fun experiments to help celebrate the holiday and even a little love potion!

Do you want to make some really cool and unique Valentines for schoolmates, friends, and teachers? Put candy in a test tube and include a science experiment. The WOW! factor will be huge with Scientific Test Tube Valentines.

The Energy Stick helps children visualize circuits... but for Valentine's Day, use the Energy Stick to show the "electricity" of love!

The Fortune Telling Fish are an easy and inexpensive way for children to do a hands-on experiment with the cut-out of the fish. Just place the mystical, red Fortune Telling Fish on the palm of your hand and watch what happens! It begins to curl up or wiggle off your hand, all by itself! What does it mean? Just look on the back of the special envelope to find out. Are you independent, jealous, passionate, fickle? Are you in love? What does the Fortune Telling Fish have to say about you?

If you're looking for a cool way to decorate that flower vase... and provide the flowers with moisture, consider growing a batch of Jelly Marbles. Place an LED light source in the vase with the Jelly Marbles or underneath the vase to make the flowers pop with excitement.

This is one of the coolest secret message demos we've seen in years, and the secret is a pen found at the office supply store called a Pilot FriXion pen. Watch the Hidden Message Secret Ink video to see how this works... amazing!
