21 Ideas for the 21st Century
Business Week magazine is offering 21 doors to the future and invites
you to explore . As humans, we're tempted to embrace a likely scenario

Dr. Fad
What is creativity? For starters, to be creative, you do not have to be
a math or a science wiz. All you need is an inquisitive mind and a very
vivid imagination. Your online source for information and advice for
inventors of all ages.Special section for Kid Inventors. |
Electrochemistry
While listening to lessons on Electrochemistry, many students may wonder
why it was ever invented, if it was really ever necessary to invent it
and if the world would be better off without it. With the small
experiments that follow, we hope to make peace between these students
and the study of Electrochemistry. These fun and simple experiments can
teach the fundamental concepts of Electrochemistry without asking much
of the student. |
Experiments
Archive at The Mad Scientist
Herein lie a series of experiments demonstrating concepts in different
branches of science. Some may be eaten before, during or after the
experiment, and some definitely should not be eaten at all. |
