The Digital Bits Science Lab does these things. It intentionally stays away from the "Science Olympiad" level projects and instead presents easy, fun science experiments for children. These science experiments have a less complex presentation (easier to demo in a classroom or home environment), and are great science experiments for young children with shorter attention spans.

The site provides semi-structured hands-on science experiments and science education for children. Use these to teach specific scientific concepts, or just have some fun with your children and students learning about this world and how it works.

The "Science Labs" don't have to be labeled as such. The intent is to have these science experiments be more play than formal education. We want to teach the child that exploration, learning and fun can all be the same thing. This gives an educational nudge towards a playtime that may not normally have it.

The science experiments visually illustrate the basics of science, and present fun, affordable and educational ways to present those basics. All Science Lab experiments are categorized into topics as well as an estimated difficulty. This way the reader can easily find experiments matching their interests and complexity and time requirements.

At the time of this release, the available science lab experiments cover the following topics:

   
Aerodynamics
   
Air pressure
   
Biology
   
Chemical Reactions
   
Color Mixing (Additive)
   
Color Mixing (Subtractive)
   
Colors
   
Conduction
   
Electricity
   
Elements
   
Energy
   
Friction
   
Gravity
   
Heat
   
Insects
   
Momentum
   
Static electricity
   
Surface tension
   
Water

Many of the Science Lab experiments are designed so that a child can research and perform them alone. Others will require guidance and help from parents or educators. Most Science Lab experiments have illustrations or photos of the labs themselves.
