Walking on Raw Eggs 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
Finding the Speed of Light with Finding the Speed of Light with Marshmallows-A Take-Home Lab Robert H. 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. 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.

mad in crafts: DIY Fire & Ice Lanterns - StumbleUpon The old becomes new: A new variation on the outdoor lantern. 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. If you are making several (say, for a special event or to light a walkway), you can make 3 of these DIY versions for only $2 worth of supplies from the dollar store. 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
Halloween Black Roses and Wreath From:Westborough, MA, USA Posted: November 3, 2012 I made this wreath and love it. Took a while. Estimate about 12-15 minutes per rose. What isn't explained however, is that it's so heavy, it becomes an oval if you only use one hook to hang (which was fine for my door). +2points 2out of 2found this story helpful. Was this helpful? Please share pictures over on our Community page! Bleach Pen Ich habe im Internet einen Bleach Pen entdeckt und was man damit machen kann. Heute habe ich meinen ersten Versuch gestartet, ein T Shirt zu bemalen...ist noch nicht so perfekt geworden, aber ich finde es ganz lustig. Im Grunde hat es den Effekt wie beim Batiken, nur anders herum. Man nimmt ein farbiges Shirt und trägt die Bleiche auf, mit dem Stift und seiner feinen Spitze ganz einfach. Es gibt aber keine scharfe Kante, sondern verläuft etwas. Ich habe vielleicht auch zu lange gewartet mit dem auswaschen. Ich überlege, ob ich das Shirt zusätzlich an den gebleichten Stellen noch besticke, es könnte ganz hübsch aussehen, was meint Ihr? I've discovered the Internet a bleach pen and what you can do with it.

How to cut glass I posted a picture about 1 week ago on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter of me cutting glass using just string. I got LOT’S of requests for a tutorial on how I DID THIS! So here it is. FINALLY! You will be able to learn how to cut glass. I want to warn you. It’s best to triple your yarn because it will burn longer! Soak it GOOD! I like to tie my yarn where I want my glass to “cut” then quickly pour polish remover over the string again. Get a big bowl with ice and water ready. VERY IMPORTANT! Slowly turn your bottle. You can’t let the flame go OUT then dunk it in the ice water. YAY!!! I reallly hope you enjoyed this tutorial because I had ALOT of requests for it! © Copyright jaderbombllc, All rights Reserved.
Glow-in-the-Dark Drinks I saw something new (to me) at a spring break celebration in Myrtle Beach this weekend -- glow-in-the-dark Jell-O™ shots. I can't think of a safe way to make a drink glow in the dark, though I know you can make ice glow. (Make glowing ice sculptures or encase the outside of a punchbowl by soaking cotton balls in the liquid from glow-in-the-dark markers and freezing them in water. Do not consume the ice.) However, there are several edible substances that glow brightly from fluorescence under ultraviolet light. You can add black lights to most celebrations for your own glowing concoctions. If you want to make glowing drinks, my advice is to get a pocket-sized black light (ultraviolet lamp) and take it shopping with you.
Materials That Glow Under Black Light Question: What Materials Glow Under a Black or Ultraviolet Light? Answer: There are a lot of everyday materials that fluoresce, or glow, when placed under a black light. A black light gives off highly energetic ultraviolet light. You can't see this part of the spectrum, which is how 'black lights' got their name. Fluorescent substances absorb the ultraviolet light and then re-emit it almost instantaneously. Some energy gets lost in the process, so the emitted light has a longer wavelength than the absorbed radiation, which makes this light visible and causes the material to appear to glow. Fluorescent molecules tend to have rigid structures and delocalized electrons. White Paper White paper is treated with fluorescent compounds to help it appear brighter and therefore whiter. You may wish to browse the Black Light Photo Gallery to see more examples of materials that glow under a black light.

The Mookychicks give you the lowdown on decorating your room so it glows under a UV black light... What is Black Light? When there is black light in the room (otherwise known as ultraviolet light, UV light or fluorescent light) certain items have the ability to glow with its reflection. Black light (or ultraviolet light) is not some crazy man-made invention. Black light party ideas Your room should look as good in the day as it does at night. Using glow products at your black light party: There are lots of fluoro products that clearly glow under a UV light - glowsticks being the obvious one. But there are other things that are less obvious, and if you want to decorate your room to become fluoro-magical then you should really get a small portable black light. TIP: Some products that look fluorescent in the day aren't actually all that fun under a black light. More lack light party decoration ideas:
