Family Fun with the Ping Pong Catapult
Can you use the Ping Pong Catapult from the Science Buddies Store for a great physics, math, or sports science project? Sure! Can you also use the catapult for some family science fun? You bet! This family put plastic eggs to the launch test for a hands-on look at launch angles, trajectory, and pull-back strength. Read their story and check out some of the many science projects students can do with this simple device.

Gear Up for Summer Reading and Summer Science!
Nuts-and-bolts Guide Introduces Students to Robotics
Robotics: Discover the Science and Technology of the Future with 20 Projects by Kathy Ceceri is a great way to get kids excited about robotics engineering. Full of robotics history, stories and examples, facts, science and engineering angles, and hands-on activities that encourage students to put robotics engineering concepts to use, Robotics is a fun way for kids to learn more about robotics and may be perfect to kick-start the upcoming summer break! See our in-depth review for a closer look.
Students can extend the lessons in Robotics with Science Buddies Project Ideas. The Art Bot: Build a Wobbly Robot Friend That Creates Art project at Science Buddies is based on one of Ceceri's robotics projects!

Spotlighted Science Career
Science Career: Biochemist
Biochemists work on a wide range of exciting projects involving chemical processes that happen within living organisms. Students interested in projects involving food science, microbiology, plants, bacteria, and the effectiveness of different medicines may be interested in learning more about biochemistry as a possible science career path!
Chemistry-related career resources at Science Buddies are sponsored by Astellas USA Foundation.

Encourage Your Students to Share Their Science Project Experience!
We love to highlight stories about student and teacher science project and science fair successes -- just like yours! Have your students submit photos of their projects to Science Buddies. They might end up featured in a success story on the Science Buddies Blog, in the spotlight at Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or in the newsletter. Let us know, in photos, how the project went!
