My wife turned me on to Steve Spangler through his guest appearances on the Ellen Show. He has some great, fun science experiments and toys like Smoke Rings a.k.a. Air Bazooka and Walking on Water (really corn starch goo). It is worth some time to check out all of his videos.
Steve has released his “Top 25 Holiday Gift Ideas – Educational Toys with a High Wow Factor” Some great ideas for all ages, too bad we are almost done with our Christmas shopping. If you like those gift ideas, you might want to also check out his Top 10 Under $10.

Steve Spangler is close to being a hero in my household; we check his website and blog daily and I get his Experiment of the Week in my email every week. Spangler has enriched my kids’ lives, and ours too! with his hands-on approach to science and his gift of making everything so extremely interesting. The kids are enthusiastic now about their science projects, too – there are tons of them on Steve Spangler’s site. I love finding others on the ‘net who appreciate Steve Spangler!

I cannot wait until my kids are old enough, thanks for the tip on the Experiment of the Week!

My kids love Steve Spangler science. We often go there to do experiments he demonstates in the videos and experiment section of his site. Really cool stuff. We also like the science experiments from Weird Science Kids.

Steve Spangler Science’s Experiment of the Week is absolutely wonderful! My children can’t wait to see what science fun we’re going to have. The Spangler science toys aren’t budget-breakers, either. I try to purchase something new for the boys to play and learn with and from, several times a year.
