LED Dance Glove: This brand new project at Science Buddies is an awesome way for kids to explore a cool new breed of electronics-wearable ones, also called electronic textiles or e-textiles.Here are two suggestions for science projects from the Science Buddies library of Project Ideas that can be easily turned into a fun at-home activity that then becomes part of a cool and creative trick-or-treat costume. When you factor in the hands-on science learning that your student (or family) will gain from the science experiment, it's a win-win with interest! The supplies you buy for the science project will also be used for the Halloween costume. Really, when you think about it, this idea can be chalked up as a two-for-one special.
