“Use a magnet to detect a counterfeit bill? Build a battery out of basically anything? My health insurer sent me home with the instructions included here to make a frozen gel pack for a sprain. These are interesting and low-cost ideas for STEM projects with no upper age limit.” — Diane H.

“In closing, let's measure something. Check out this Pi Detector by the ingenious Cy Tymony, creator of the popular Sneaky Science and Math discovery series. Why does Cy do what he does? I asked, and he responded with the following.

“I love science and technology and the wonderful things you can do with a little sneaky information using discarded items and without special tools.

“For instance, virtually anyone can: Make an AM radio with a penny, create fire with water, turn a screw in an AM/FM radio and listen to aircraft broadcasts, turn on devices with your ring, convert a pencil into a microphone, convert a calculator into a metal detector, make a James Bond spy jacket and more.

“Wait. Music from a penny? It's true. Check it out here—from Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things. Pretty amazing. (Thank you, Andrews McMeel Publishing.)” — Gary Antonik, New York Times
