We are always looking for new science experiments for kids to try. I have seen this one done a few times and every time I am amazed! Who knew that that the simple egg was so strong. I took these pictures while helping out with a kids program where this simple yet amazing experiment was demonstrated.

Let me tell you, the looks on the kids faces were simply hilarious! Have you tried Walking on Raw Eggs before? A Dozen Raw Eggs in their carton ~ We used 5 dozen.Plastic to cover the floor ~ just in case:)A few volunteers to join in on this fun learning experiment. Start by having the kids make a few predictions as to what will happen when they walk across the raw eggs. “The eggs will crack and break!” “Your feet will be covered in scrambled eggs!” “You will have egg guts all over your feet!” Make sure to remove your socks and shoes. Lay out the plastic to protect the floor. The first carton of eggs is the hardest to step onto, you may want a friend to assist you. Exploding soap experiment.

Stauffer, Jr., Cimarron-Memorial High School, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA I have heard that at 16 years old, Albert Einstein constantly wondered what it would be like to ride on a beam of light. Students in physics always seem to be fascinated by the properties of light. However, speed-of-light demonstrations often require extensive preparation or expensive equipment. I have prepared a simple classroom demonstration that the students can also use as a take-home lab. The activity requires a microwave oven, a microwave-safe casserole dish, a bag of marshmallows, and a ruler. All you do now is multiply the frequency by the wavelength. Example: Velocity = Frequency ´ Wavelength Velocity = 2450 MHz ´ 0.122 m Velocity = 2.99 ´ 108 m/s This works in my physics class, often with less than 5% error.

We have had an unusually warm winter in Michigan this year, and while the temps have been nice, I have had to hold off on this project idea until we got a cold snap. We finally got some snow and cold earlier this week, so I was able to try out this fun winter project. I had pinned a product called Globe Ice Lantern Kits a few months back recognizing that I could DIY them at home.

Originally priced at nearly $30 for a kit that makes 6 lanterns, I think they are very reasonable for a small batch. To make DIY Fire & Ice Lanterns, you will need: a package of 3 punch balloons from the dollar store a package of 3 LED tea lights from the dollar store bowls small cylinder (shot glass, pop bottle, etc.) water freezer or below-freezing outdoor temps You are getting a glimpse of my less-than-sparkling kitchen sink in this post. First, stretch the opening of one punch balloon over your faucet. I brought in my first lantern after 12 hours. Magnetic Cannon. Where Do Trees Come From? Soap in slinky.
