Crystal Egg Geodes - Martha Stewart Easter - StumbleUpon Geodes can be grown without using egg dye. The resulting crystals are clear to milky white, like quartz. While large chicken eggshells are suggested in this process, larger eggshells can be used. Simply increase the size of the plastic or glass container and double or triple the amounts of dye (1 packet), alum (3/4 part), and water (2 parts) used to create the growing solution. This Easter craft from Jim "Figgy" Noonan doubles as a science project, offering an opportunity to show kids the crystallization process at work. To make a fluorescent variation for Halloween, substitute the water and egg dye solution with glow water. Resources: If you don't want to blow your own egg or would like to try a larger eggshell, pre-blown shells are available from The Eggery Place.
11 class activities with sensors you didn’t know your phone had Mobile devices can do more than we imagine! Rebecca and Chrystian Vieyra developed apps for classrooms to tap into their sensors. (Google Hangout screenshot) Smartphones and tablets are powerful devices that people use every day to make their lives easier. They’re even smarter than we give them credit for. For example, many devices have: an accelerometer that measures acceleration forcesa magnetometer that measures magnetization/magnetic fieldsa light sensor that measures the strength of lighta gyroscope that measures orientationa hygrometer that measures moisture in the atmospherea thermometer that measures ambient temperaturea barometer that measures atmospheric pressurea proximeter that detects when something is close Try to put a series of instruments together like that in your classroom and the price tag will make it next to impossible. That’s where Rebecca Vieyra and her husband, Chrystian, come in. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. This wasn’t the end of the conversation! Related
