Edible Rock Cycle for Kids. Earth Structural Layer Cake. A little while ago, my sister approached me with an idea.
She’s doing an education degree, and her and her friends had to give a series of lessons on the geological sciences to a class of primary school kids.

I bought a case of these jars. i’m going to challenge myself to see how many things i can make/put in them this summer. i hereby dub this summer “the summer of the canning jars.” today’s offering: jello sky. the jello was an idea i saw on pinterest. it’s incredibly easy and doesn’t take much time at all. i used homemade whipped cream for mine. 1/2 pint of whipping cream in the mixer, and when it started to thicken, i added 1/8c white sugar and beat it until it was very stiff. when it was ready, i put it in the fridge while i prepped the jello. 1 c boiling water over 1 box of blue jello. mix til dissolved. add 1c (ish) icecubes and stir stir stir. after about 5 minutes, it will start to thicken. i didn’t think it was quite thick enough at that point, so i put the bowl in the fridge for about 20 minutes. when it is firm enough to still be a little liquidy but tight enough to hold a little shape, it’s ready.

The supplies you need for making ice volcanoes are small bowls, balls that will sink, plastic wrap, and some room in the freezer.

One of the most amazing highlights of my trip to Dubai was the opportunity to fly in a hot air balloon with Balloon Adventures Emirates. It was incredible!
