Welcome to the science is fun page! Keep watching this page for fun activities that you can do at home. The first activity that I would like to put on here is the slime recipe..... In the first bowl mix: 3/4 cup warm water, 1 cup glue, and food coloring if you want too. In the second bowl mix: 4 teaspoons of borax (you can get it at the store on the laundry soap aisle, or get it from me) and 1 1/3 cups warm water. Mix the two mixtures together, it is ok to pour off the extra water and keep mixing with your hands. It will stretch and break! The second activity for our page is an ice cream lesson that we might do later in the year! 4 eggs (beaten well) 2 cups of sugar 4 cups of half and half(found in the milk section) 2 teaspoons of vanilla 1\2 teaspoon of salt milk empty gallon jug crushed ice table salt (or rock salt) spoons and cups Large ziploc bag small ziploc bag (yellow and blue make green kind work best!) 1. Mix eggs, sugar, half and half, vanilla and salt in gallon jug and shake well. Pour milk into jug until it is almost full. put the lid on and shake. 2. Place 1 cup of mixture in the small ziploc bag and seal tightly. 3. fill large ziploc bag 1\2 full of ice and pour 1\4 cup of salt on top of the ice. Place the small bag inside the large bag. 4. Using your hands, mix (churn) the ice cream. You should be able to tell when it is ready. It takes about 15 minutes(depending on how much salt you put on the ice) more salt on ice makes it work faster. 5. Your hands will be cold, but it will be worth it! Amazing Egg Experiment Day one - Take one raw egg and place it in a jar carefully. Do not crack the shell. Cover the egg with vinegar. Put the lid on the jar and make observations. What do you see? Leave the egg for three days and make more observations. Answer to day one - Bubbles start forming on the surface of the egg's shell immediately and increase in number with time. After 72 hours the shell will be gone. The egg remains intact because of the thin transparent membrane. The size of the egg has increased. The shell of the egg is made of calcium carbonate, commonly called limestone. When vinegar chemically reacts with limestone it produces carbon dioxide gas, that's where the bubbles come from. The membrane of the egg becomes more rubbery and could even bounce if dropped. Be careful if you try that, it could break. The increased size comes from the water in the vinegar moving in through the cell membrane, this is called osmosis. You could even try putting the egg in a jar of water and see if the egg gets any bigger. Day three - Take the egg out of the jar carefully and rinse it. Place three inches of corn syrup in the jar and then carefully place the egg back in the jar. Close the lid and allow the jar to sit for 3 days. Make observations. Answer day three - The egg will drastically change in size and shape. It has a rubber outer skin with very little content inside. The excess water inside the egg moves through the membrane into the syrup. The water content outside the egg is much less that inside, thus the water moves out of the egg. The molecules in the syrup and other materials inside the egg do not move through the membrane because they are too large. Have fun and remember science is fun!
