Science Is Fun!

Any day that you wake up to organic blueberry pancakes with organic scrambled eggs and organic pears has got to be great, right? :) After that fabulicious breakfast prepared by my husband, the science fun began! I've got lots of pictures for you....

First, we did the ketchup packet diver experiment. The first step in this one is to find the very-most-perfectly floating ketchup packet...it can't sink to the bottom, but it shouldn't poke out of the top of the water too much either. Then you put the perfect packet into a container filled with water, put the lid on and squeeeeeze until that little packet sinks like a rock....then let go to watch the packet drift dreamily back to the top. :)

Next we made a cloud in a bottle...trust me, there was a cloud in there. :D

And our final experiment for the day was our favorite....the "make a boiled egg go into a bottle" experiment. Hehe. Ours was a little more explosive than expected. First, you drop still burning matches or paper in the bottom of a glass bottle, then quickly sit the egg on top and wait for the magic to happen....check out the egg guts!

Yep, fun was had by all....even Simon (the cat). :) Annnnd....all of the bottles we needed for these fine endeavors were right in our recycling box...it paid off for me to be slack about taking it to the center. :D Never fear, they were put back in the recycling box when we were finished!

After our science fun, we decided to go to the park/zoo....I'll post pictures from that later in the week because I have to scram for now.

Next week's science projects.....Mentos and Diet Coke, rock salt and Diet Coke, and sugar with 7-Up...there will be pictures!

Have a great Monday!
