Crystal Egg Geodes - Martha Stewart Easter. 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. How to make a Naked Egg : Imagination Station. How to make a Naked Egg A “naked egg” is an egg that has no shell.
Let me say that again, an egg with no shell. This is not something you normally run across and even when I show a naked egg to someone they often just don’t get the idea that the shell is gone – yet the egg stays intact. You might want to check out the anatomy of an egg to get an idea what we are dealing with. The shell of an egg (typically a chicken egg) is made up of primarily calcium carbonate. CaCO3 (s) + 2 HC2H3O2 (aq) → Ca(C2H3O2)2 (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g) Seven Layer Density Column at Steve Spangler Science.
Measure 8 ounces of each type of liquid into the 9 ounce portion cups.
You may want to color each of the liquids to make a more dramatic effect in your column. Light Karo syrup is easier to color than dark syrup. The only liquids that you may not be able to color are the vegetable oil and the honey. Start your column by pouring the honey into the cylinder. Now, you will pour each liquid SLOWLY into the container, one at a time. The same amount of two different liquids will have different weights because they have different masses. To test this, you might want to set up a scale and measure each of the liquids that you poured into your column. ** NOTE: The numbers in the table are based on data from manufacturers for each item.

By Cathy James on February 14th, 2012 After ohhing and ahhing and wishing and dreaming every time we read a post from an American blogger, this week we discovered you can get hold of water beads in the UK.
An order was placed, the water beads arrived and we were ready to play! Water beads are a super sensory material and versatile in lots of play but as they were a brand new material to the children (and me) our first playtime was all about exploring and discovering: time for some water bead science. Our approach to science is the same as all our activities, with a focus on play, creativity and letting the children discover things for themselves. I’m around to provide materials and prompt conversation but I try to let the children ask their own questions and work out their own answers as much as possible.
With this playful approach to science, here’s what we observed and discovered in our water bead science experiment. Summer Kid Crafts: Make a Hovercraft. This is a brilliant kid craft--so brilliant that you may indeed find yourself playing with it too.
Not that I'd have any experience with that or anything. Not at all. You only need four things:a CDa push-up water bottle topa balloonsuperglue Step 1Superglue the water bottle top to the CD right over its center opening to make a valve. If you don't have a push-up water bottle top you can always use one from an old bottle of dishwashing detergent. Step 2After the glue is dry and with the valve in the closed position, blow up the balloon and fix it over the valve in the middle of the CD. Step 3Place the hovercraft on a hard and flat floor (not carpet), let go of the balloon and pull the bottle valve to the open position.
