Cool Site
how do you get in this site to do experiments
I am delighted to have come across your website and cannot wait to get my hands on your book. As the coordinator of the Secular Family Network and founder of Families In Reason, a key part of my responsibilities is to guide parents to resources that encourage science and critical thinking skills. I am sure that your book will prove to be a valuable addition to our growing list of resources.
Greetings from cologne. cool site!

Cool Site.
When's your next book coming out?
Hello I have a science project 7 any info mation u could give me on how to design a fire extinguisher would be most appreciated Thank you P.s can you make it asap
I Love your site! Keep up the great work.
great sie
Hi Eric, this is jack from the Alaska trip w/ Marry, Tom, and Fred. I realy was intertaned while the food was comming at many different resterants.
I would appreciate if you could send me information via Email about the effects of tap water, carbonated water, distilled water, and mineral water on growing plants. In addition, I would like to have the reasons why each type of water had particular effects on the plant. I know someone asked this before but I would like the answer as well ASAP if possible. Thanks.
Any Astronomy
Does anyone out there know how to make a simple Spirometer?
Help!! I'm the chairperson for our first "Family Science Night" and I am in need of inexpensive or free supplies for doing experiments for young children grades K-5. Please send any information or suggestions as soon as possible.THe event is in February. Thanks.
great site
cool
i need to research the element copper
This is a good site with lots of information. Will you be at NSTA 2001?
Yes we will be there! Look for us in "Do Science" hats. We may also be at the Exploratorium booth. -Do Science
if anyone could give us some information on how to make home made spirometer's it would be really helpful for our major assesment task due in 3 weeks.. thankyou shan and juliet send information to: sedmed@yahoo.com
This was great! I have used many of these ideas in my physical science classes, but never thought to do them at the restaurants. Restaurants Here I Come!
In the Home Activity, "Eggcitement," the picture of the egg is turned 90 degrees fro where you want it to be! When the egg comes out of the chicken, it does so along the major axis of the egg shape. That is where the strength lies...not along the sides as shown in the pictures of the activity. My background as a secondary science teacher, and years of using this same exercise as a challenge that can't be done if the egg is uniformly intact, tell me that your way will guarantee a mess!
Thanks for the note Norman,
You are correct about the egg being stronger in the "long dimension." However, by rotating the egg 90 degrees (as shown in the experiment), you allow more fingers or more surface area to be involved in applying the force. This increase in surface area helps distribute the pressure throughout the egg more efficiently.
We've been doing this activity for years with hundreds of students and have had great success.-Do Science
We are enjoying your book, "While You're Waiting for the Food to Come"; and we thoroughly enjoyed your entertaining talk and demonstration at the San Francisco Mechanics Library on Thursday, February 24th.

Very interesting and delightful site throughout; such an excellent idea!
I love this so much send me alot of stuff
Hi I would like to comment you on your successful web site. Love it. But im in 8th grade and we have a big projct thats due and i need some suggestions on experiments that you might know. And if you do please add them on to your web site. Thanks for hearing me out. Laters, Samantha
For extra credit in school i need information on chemistry . Information that is cool or a cool chemistry expermint or somthing of the sort !!!!! Thanx so much !!!!!
I enjoyed visiting this site, but I wanted to comment on one particular restaurant experiment. The Atomizer experiment would be very interesing to most kids, but I cannot understand why this would be an experiment you feel appropriate to try in a RESTAURANT. Not only does it cause a mess and make a disruption, but it does not at all teach children the way to act in a restaurant. Good experiment, bad location. Sure wouldn't want to be sitting next to that table!Hello Jenny,
We received your email about the atomizer experiment. Thanks for your input.
Most of the experiments we present should first be performed at home or school before venturing out to a restaurant. We do feel there is a need for appropriate behavior in appropriate locations. If a parent and their child conduct an experiment, we feel the adult should be the judge as to this appropriateness. We would never encourage some one to do the atomizer experiment in a fancy reserved culinary setting, but we've conducted this activity hundreds of times in restaurants with outdoor seating, at picnics and at eateries with boisterous/ fun atmospheres.
There are many lessons in life a child needs to learn, and appropriate behavior is one of them. However, we also feel that enjoyment, interest and appreciation of science is also one of these lessons.

I need help finding a project that includes lasers. It has to be really cheap becuse I don't have enough time to but something. If you have ant ideas please e-mail me THANX A LOT!
Great Ideas!!! I would love to be added to your mailing list.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE RELEASE OF THE BOOK. WE CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT!
I really like your page! It helps me a ton! =)
Excellent site! Your ideas are fun, and your concept is great. We will feature you in our Favorite Destinations links page on MagicTricks.Com. We are the largest online resource of information on magic tricks, magic history and magicians. Our visitors will have a good time on your site!
Can you explain the reaction that occurs when lifsavers and mentos are placed on a string hanging from the cap into a bottle of soda with the cap tied on tightly? The soda begins to spray from the hole in the lid of the cap that the string is through, but what exactly causes this reaction? I saw this on David Letterman and was xtremely curious. Please get back to me on this occurance. Sincerely, Brooke
I enjoyed visiting your site. Your ideas for "while your're waiting for the food" activities are excellent for younger children...good ideas for classroom projects when teaching young children with shorter attention spans. Thank you.
I like the restaurant activities because whenever we go to a restaurant we always have to wait a long time
This is one fabulous web page! I've made a bookmark and am sending the website on to everyone I can think of! Love, Mom
where do you get all these crazy ideas? I love it.
What a great site! We do a quarterly science magazine for kids and families, and we're featuring your site in our Web guide. Check us out at http://www.scienceathome.com!
This is a fantastic website!! As a first year science teacher, these great ideas will help me keep my students interested !!!! Thanks!!!
COOL stuff! I just heard your piece on NPR and made a planet model at my table.
i love tricks like these and yours are realy good keep it up
well i think this stuff is really cool.
Bradley my husband and i thought that was cool tapping the side of a pop can and the pop not spewwing out. i've always just heard tap the pop can on the top of the can and it won't spew but that won't work it spews anyway so i'm glad you told us about it thank you
good. really good
We will - this will become an e- commerce site later this summer. Thanks for the suggestion.
You should sell stuff.
This web site is so neat!!!! Who knew that if you blew across the top of one straw it would spew water?!!! Neato!!!!!!
Find your creativity and hands-on approach most refreshing. I wish you could fax me some lessons at 609-344-0974. I teach a self-contained emotional disturbed class. I do as much hands-on as possible when we do science, but they want more!!!!! Thanks for all I have taken from you. P.S. I was a waiter at 'The Carnelian Room' atop the Bank Of America back in 76".
Hi! This is my first time visiting your website, and I look forward to using some of your experiments! I am currently a volunteer demonstrator at the Great Lakes Science Center(Cleveland)and I have been there for just a little over 11 months(coming up on 1 year anniversary May 2 1999). I am looking for great,quick,fun and easy experiments to do for an open lab! I think it would be fun! I just love it there! I suggest that you all come visit us! Thanks! :-)
I LOVE YOUR WEBSSITE, AND THE EXPEREMENTS ARE SOOOOOOOOOOO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our family has really enjoyed the restaurant activities, although we did them at home on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The straw pump/mister experiment was great. It was very hard to get the straws' angles correct, but once we found the corrrect placement, it was amazing to see how high lift we could get.
I am in 5th grade and need help on my science project. I want to weigh vegetables then microwave, bake and boil them and see the difference in weight. Does this exp. have a name or steps? Can you help me?
cool dude, my cubs really enjoyed playing with straws at the scoutarama. we set up the atomizer today and had a ball.
Mr. Muller - I heard you on NPR recently, and finally checked out your website. Great stuff!! We now have some help keeping our precocious 3-yr old entertained while eating out. I'm looking forward to seeing your book. We visited SanFran last fall, but regrettably didn't make it to the Exploratorium. Next time, for sure.
I love your site! I am trying to remember an experiment that someone showed me involving a straw and a liquid in a bottle. The dare was that someone with a straw could drink the liquid faster than someone without a straw. I think that the bottom of the straw was cut to flare a bit, and then the top was bent to create a "u". The straw drinker then placed one straight straw and the bent straw into the bottle, flared-side down, and sucked from the straight straw (I think). The liquid filled the "u" or submarine straw, but allowed the drinker to finish the drink in very short time. Have you heard of this, how or why does it work, and am I remembering it correctly? Thanks!
Is that your nose on the home page? Love your website!
I LIKE YOUR IDEAS SCIENCE IS PART OF MY FAMILY!
I would appreciate if you could send me information via Email about the effects of tap water, carbonated water, distilled water, and mineral water on growing plants. In addition, I would like to have the reasons why each type of water had particular effects on the plant.
I'm always looking for new ideas for my chemistry and biology classes. I'm looking forward to seeing your book.
I was wondering if you could send me some more information about projects in my E-mail
I listen ti your interview last weekend in KCRW and that night I tried the oil, water and salt experiment. It worked great, but man did I get in trouble with the women at the table. As soon as the kids at our table ( there were 3 families with 5 kids), they got into the act, except they made a mess. There were some ticked off Mothers, but the Fathers got a real kick out of it. All for the cause of science.
Eric: I loved your piece on NPR 11/7/98. I'm waiting to eat at an Italian restaurant, so I can try to create my "lava lamp" in a glass of water!!! Very cool. Thanks.
I like science. I am 5.
cool
COOL!!!
This is my third visit to your site. Keep up the good work. Fun stuff for all ages.
Great Fun.
My name is Eric Muller too...that kicks ass...a friend told me about that straw thing...I almost got kicked out of Burger King so I don't do it much anymore =)

This web-site is the coolest! Now I don't have to feel so intimated by science! You're a genius! I think I'll visit this site often.
Hey Hal, Try it! It works. You might have to try a couple of different types of plastic straws, but it'll pop (I don't think paper straws will work). I made a short (704k) .avi movie that shows how to twist and pop a straw. I didn't include it with the original activity because it requires Netscape 4 and may take a few minutes to download (depending on your connection). Once it downloads, turn up the sound on your computer and click on the movie. Click here to see it. -Eric
The "popping straw" trick sounds interesting. However, I find it difficult to believe that tough plastic straws, like most fast food restaurants have, can be twisted like that. And I don't know where I'd have to go to find a paper straw anymore.
hey you i just filled out the cookie card and saw your cool website. very nice. wanted to thank you for these last two weeks. i learned a lot in the class and you are an awesome teacher! talk to you soon. thanks again paraluman html master
I enjoy this site! I printout & pass on the ideas to some of my non-WWW friends. We laughed, wondering what our food servers would think of us dumping salad oil in our water glasses...! Anyway, I love science - always have. Now I'm a clinical scientist. Not to mention a pyrotechnician. Let me tell you, the science behind fireworks is REALLY interesting! But not the sort of thing you can do at the dinner table.
Great fun for all ages. At 56, I enjoy showing my grand-children what fun science can be. We will be looking forward to next months experiment. Will also enjoy your book. Thanks for sharing.
Hands-on science is the best! I have got to check out the Exploratorium some time. I look forward to your book. Will what the age range be? Kids love hands-on science. Keep up the good work!
I enjoyed doing this little project, it was easy to so my little brother.
Eric you are my science teaching hero!!!! Will you have my baby? But seriously, i like the web site a lot, good layout, simple and easy to follow. I too look forward to the book and a new idea each month. Keep up the good work. Don't forget to visit this fall. We're miss'in ya. Brian, Donna, Avery, and Otie (arf arf)
I'm an electronic technician. I like this page and love self teaching making experiments. Sorry about my english. please send me some information about the club.
Sounds like a pretty cool book. Looking forward to next months experiment.
Sorry, I live in the United States. The county in Ohio that I live in is Cuyahoga. Don't want anyone looking for the country of Cuyahoga!!!!
I'm a teacher and think this is a wonderful idea! What a great way to teach science!!! I'm looking forward to seeing your book in print and can't wait to see next month's activity. P. s.: I wondered how those lava lamps worked!!!!! I'll have to get my old one out of the attic!!!!! Thanks so much and good luck on your book. I can tell it will be a winner:)

What great ideas! Not only are they very amusing, but so educational, too. I'll be able to entertain my friends, and be thrown out of new restaurants, as well. Good luck!
I hope your book sells well because I am always board at restaurants waiting for my food to come. You can count on me to buy your book. Sincearly, Tyler Stricker
Sensational educational experience for kids and their parents.Can't wait for the book's release.I'll give it to my grandchildren and friends.
you are a science stud! great stuff...we want more!!!
"Do Science" is excellent. I hope to see more!!
Fun Site to view and learn. Look forward to more.
Heard the interview on NPR and am looking forward to the publishing of your boook!
