GRAND RAPIDS — Have you ever wondered if water can defy gravity? In today's experiment we are actually going to make water walk through a rainbow of colors while defying gravity. So here is what you ...

COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. — Rising air is all around us— outside and inside. It's what meteorologists call "convection." Warm air is lighter and less dense than cold air, so it has buoyancy and wants to ...

While the cold weather may deter many from going outside, others like to take advantage of the freezing temperatures and test out different science experiments. From blowing frozen bubbles to throwing ...

INDIANAPOLIS — Water is necessary for life on Earth and can be found in many forms. Water can be a liquid — like rivers, oceans, puddle, and drinking water. It can also be a gas — in the form of ...

Every winter when outdoor temperatures plunge, the 'boiling water experiment' takes over social media. Here are some simple common-sense tips to keep in mind to minimize your risk of getting burned in ...

When meteorologists are looking at snowfall, the amount of water (or snowfall ratio) plays a big portion of what we could see. Snow ratios refer to the liquid-equivalent of the snowfall. Snow ratios ...

It sounds like one of the easiest experiments possible: Take two cups of water: one hot, one cold. Place both in a freezer and note which one freezes first. Common sense suggests that the colder water ...

Supercooled water may be a two-for-one deal. A long-standing theory holds that liquid water at temperatures well below freezing is composed of two different arrangements of molecules, one with high ...
