These are demonstrations that have very unexpected results,
causing those observing to ask questions that will eventually
lead them to the understanding of the science concepts being
presented. Several free

The complex and abstract nature of Science makes the subject
difficult to understand. But
complexity is not the only reason that Science is hard. The
subject is made much more
difficult by the presence of numerous, misleading "Science
Myths." These Science Myths
circulate in the popular culture, are handed down from parents
to children, and have
become so common and widespread that they even appear in
science textbooks and are
taught as facts in elementary school.
