21ScienceMy son's science project was supposed to demonstrate the concept of gravity. He dropped a rock off the balcony, timed it, and wrote in his report: 'Object fell. Conclusion: gravity works. Next time I will drop a heavier object to determine if speed increases.' His teacher wrote back: 'Please do not drop objects off the balcony. Also, Galileo covered this in 1590 and he did not have a balcony.'Show PunchlineShare
59ScienceMy kid's science project was supposed to demonstrate the concept of equilibrium. He stood on one leg, held a book over his head, and declared, 'I am balanced. I am the equilibrium.'Show PunchlineShare

69ScienceMy daughter's science project was supposed to demonstrate the water cycle. She made a bowl of water, put it in the sun, and said, 'Evaporation.' Then she put it in the freezer and said, 'Precipitation.'Show PunchlineShare
48ScienceMy kid's science project was supposed to demonstrate the concept of momentum. He ran into a wall, turned around, ran into the other wall, and said, 'I'm maintaining my velocity.'Show PunchlineShare
24ScienceMy kid's science project was supposed to demonstrate the concept of energy transfer. He slammed his hand on the table and said 'kinetic energy,' picked up the table and said 'potential energy,' put the table down and said 'thermal energy,' and then sat in the chair and said, 'I am now the control group.' His teacher gave him an A.Show PunchlineShare
14ScienceMy kid's science project was supposed to demonstrate the concept of pressure. He stood on one foot, held his breath, squeezed his eyes shut, and declared, 'I'm putting more pressure on this foot than the other one.' His teacher asked, 'And what did you observe?'Show PunchlineShare
56ScienceI was explaining gravity to my kid at the dinner table. He pushed his peas off the plate and said, 'See? Gravity works on peas.' I said, 'Exactly.' He said, 'But it doesn't work on my patience. I've been sitting here for forty minutes and I'm not moving.'Show PunchlineShare

44ScienceMy kid's science project was supposed to demonstrate the concept of density. He put a rock in a glass of water, put a piece of paper in a glass of water, and then put his own ear in a glass of water.Show PunchlineShare
43ScienceMy kid's science project was supposed to demonstrate the water cycle. He put a bowl of water in the sun, waited two days, and then said, 'The water went up, came back down, and I put it in the bowl again.' His teacher asked, 'So what did you learn about the water cycle?'Show PunchlineShare
84ScienceMy kid's science project was supposed to demonstrate the concept of inertia. He sat in a chair, his dad pushed the chair, and he went forward.Show PunchlineShare
74ScienceMy kid's science project was supposed to demonstrate the concept of evaporation. He left a glass of water on the windowsill for a week.Show PunchlineShare
78ScienceMy kid's science fair project was supposed to demonstrate the concept of magnetism. He stuck a refrigerator magnet to the fridge, stuck it to the door, stuck it to the oven, and then stuck it to his little sister's hair. His teacher asked him to explain his methodology. He said, 'The magnet works on metal. It also works on hair. I don't know why.'Show PunchlineShare
7ScienceMy kid's science project was supposed to demonstrate the concept of friction. He rubbed his hands together, dragged a book across the table, and then rubbed his face on the carpet for three full seconds. His teacher asked him to explain his findings. He said, 'Friction is real. I can feel it. It is also why my face itches and why the book made a sound like a dying goose.'Show PunchlineShare
