I love this site! As a soon to be upcoming teacher you give me so many ideas to present to my students! I believe the main reason I love science is because you can see things happen right before your eyes! I also think that students learn better when they can remember something cool like experiments to help them remember! This site is amazing. Thank you steve!

its really amazing how you do things like this. Leprechaun eggs? Who would have new. You never fail to entertain us in science, thanks Steve!

Cool tricks, too late I wasn’t able to read this during the St. Patrick’s day to try it out…

Steve, I dont know if you remember me but when I was a little girl I went to your science camps. I was watching the Ellen show the other day and couldn’t believe my eyes! It was YOU!!!!! You knew both of my parent, Lisa and Jamie. I saw on this blog that you had the rainbow beads. After we moved away from CO, my parents and I took a trip back to CO for my 10th birthday and one of the students took me up to the science department and gave me these beads. They were the coolest things ever! Ironically, next year I will hopefully be attending Regis University as a freshman. Such a small world!
Hope all is well with the family.
Love,
Caitlin Birge

I saw you do your gold penny activity online on a video last year and it’s great. I’m a chemistry teacher and this is just the kind of thing that works well with older students. I posted your activity on a chem-news forum and had a lot of people asking where to get the zinc dust. It’s important that you use zinc dust and not mossy zinc. It has to be a very fine powder. It was fun to see you son (is that your son?) on the video get so excited when the penny turned gold.

Thanks for sharing the cool ideas. I agree that any time we can do some science and make it fun by doing things like this, everyone wins. I have a 4th and a 5th grader and they’re a little too old for leprechaun traps. But these activities would be great for them to do with younger kids to get them excited about St. Patrick’s Day. When I was a kid, you just wore a green shirt to school and that was that. Now St. Patrick’s Day is a full-blown holiday (maybe because St. Guinness helps everyone celebrate). Thanks for your science ideas. Keep them coming.
