Make Crystal Creations" You can make crystal creations as an easy science experiment for kids. Dip decorations and paper sculptures in a crystal solution, and watch them crystallize overnight! What You'll Need: Waterproof table coveringwaterSaucepanSugarPlastic cupsChenille stems (pipe cleaners)StringScissorsPencilsFood coloringIndex cardsEpsom saltsAlumPermanent markersPie pan Step 1: Cover your work surface. Note that an adult needs to help kids throughout this activity. Step 2: Heat a cup of water until it begins to steam. Step 3: Remove the cup from heat, and stir in 2 cups of sugar. Step 4: Mold chenille stems into decorative shapes (star, heart, cat, initials). Step 5: Tie one end of a piece of string to a chenille stem shape and the other end around a pencil. Step 6: Leave the shape overnight, and then remove it from the solution and let dry on a paper towel. Step 7: When dry, the decorations will be covered with shiny crystals. For larger crystals, allow the chenille stem to soak longer in the solution.

Science Experiments for Kids" Science experiments for kids explain everyday mysteries like what causes rain, answer questions about form and function, and simplify concepts like symmetry and capillary action. They're fun, they're fascinating, and they're a great way to spend time indoors on a cold or rainy day. Forget beakers and Bunsen burners, exploding chemicals and complex instructions. Follow the links below to learn how to conduct simple science experiments: Capturing Leaf Vapor Measure water vapor from a leaf to see if leaves breathe. Look-Alike Tests for Salt and Sugar Try some tests to see how these two compounds act differently. Reverse Garden Plant garbage instead of seeds, and find out what biodegradable means. Make Crystal Creations Add a sparkling crystal coat to decorations and paper sculptures. Liquid Density Test Try this test to see if all objects of the same size have the same density. Water on the Move Construct an experiment that will demonstrate how water moves through tiny spaces in fiber. Magnet Making

10 Apps & Sites for Promoting Healthy Eating and Fitness In all of my Best of the Web presentations I try to present resources for a wide variety of classroom settings and subject areas. Health and physical education resources are always included because of my personal interest in the field as well as its importance in giving students lifelong skills. Here are ten of my favorite resources for teaching and promoting health and fitness in schools. GoNoodle is a free service that is designed to promote physical fitness in a fun environment. One of the simple improvements that I made to my diet two years ago was removing sugar from my morning coffee (I never used cream). How Sugar Affects the Brain is a TED-Ed lesson through which students learn why sugary foods and beverages can become addictive and how the human body processes sugar. Untamed Science offers a similar video lesson in which we learn why so many of us crave sugar and sweet things. Sworkit Kids a free iOS and Android app designed to get kids moving with short, fun exercises.
