DIY Hollow Out A Light Bulb at TeamDroid

Mostly because of the cool gear that scientists used, you know, beakers, flasks, Bunsen burners that sort of thing. Well, not only did I not have the money for those sorts of thing but I had no idea where to even buy them if I could. So I had to improvise. One of the better improvisations I was able to do was to hollow out a light bulb and use it for other things. The glass that makes the envelope of the build is quite heat resistant and the screw base is good to attach things to (even better if you can find old ones with brass bases, you can solder to those). Step 1 You will need some common tools, a screwdriver (regular) and snips (or needle nose pliers). Step 2 First, grip the little solder point and give it a good twist. Step 3 Once the contact has been pulled out, carefully crack the glass insulator. Step 4 After the insulator has been removed you can see the inside supports of the filament and the fill hole.

DIY Smelling Bottles

The purpose is for the child to develop their sense of smell. The process is simple - the child sniffs their way through the bottles trying to match two identical scents.

Here's how I made them: ::I selected 8 identical glass bottles, each with a flip top.

::I labeled one half of the bottles with a blue star and the other half with a red star. ::I created a control of error by subtly marking the bottoms of the bottles with dots (using a permanent marker). The hardest part was finding a good box for these. Elevator.jpg from dumpaday.com. Suspending Water Without a Cup Trick - CollegeHumor Video.
