15 Awesome Science Art Projects for Kids

STEM becomes STEAM as we integrate science with art in these awesome science art projects for kids! Get ready to get your mind blown! One day way back in 1921, a young scientist was sitting on a ship sailing on the Mediterranean Sea. He looked out at the gorgeous blue water and began to wonder - why is the sea blue? Being a scientist, he began conducting studies on this, extending his studies to the Bay of Bengal. Eventually, he discovered that the color of water is due to a 'selective absorption of longer wavelengths of light in the red and orange regions of the spectrum' due to overtones of the infrared absorbing combined oxygen and hydrogen which stretches the modes of water molecules. And that my friends, is the story of Sir C.V. Raman, the famous Indian physicist! Who was Sir C.V. Raman? C.V. Raman was a child prodigy, completing high school at 13, college at just 16, and his masters before 20! It's not surprising that he won the Nobel Prize for Physics at the young age of 42, which was also the first Nobel Prize won by an Asian in any field of science! This Nobel Prize was for his work in the field of 'scattering of light', named as the 'Raman Effect' after the scientist. Since 1986, the day of this discovery, 28th February, has been celebrated as National Science Day all over India. This special day is celebrated in schools, colleges and other academic institutions, and is considered to be an opportunity to encourage more scientific and technical research. We think this is also an amazing chance to marvel at the magic of science in general, and the best way to do this is with these 15 Awesome Science Art Projects for Kids!
