Highlights for High School
Labs bring science concepts alive as you observe, practice, and experiment with problems. Highlights for High School features many thought-provoking experiments in both chemistry and physics!
Check out chemistry labs like What's in a Cow's Heart Anyway? and How Did the Peach Get Into the Banana? Some of the physics labs include experiments on centripetal force, electrostatic force, and microwaves.
These are only a few of the dozens of labs featured on Highlights. Its important to note that many of these experiments require high levels of safety and special equipment, and so please proceed with caution!
