I grew crystals in my fridge last night. They are also lavender scented. Here’s how I did it: About 2 cups of lavender scented Epsom salts. A glass jar. 1 cup of hot water (microwaved the water) ½ cup of additional hot water with food coloring of your choice (I used green) A fridge to put the jar of melted Epsom salts in over night.
Directions:
The ½ cup water, get it hot then you are gonna mix food coloring in it and set it aside.
Put your Epsom salts in the glass jar.
Take the full cup of hot water and pour into the jar over the Epsom salts. Stir for two minutes.
Take the colored water you had put aside and add it to the jar. Stir it up and then put the jar in the fridge (24 hrs)
When it is time to take the jar out of the fridge, it won’t look different at first do not get discurged! You have to get rid of the remaining liquid, once you do, the result will be your very own crystals grown by you!
Materials: 1.4 soda cans 2.2 ceramic magnets 3.ruler 4. Five hex nuts 5.an empty tall drinking glass 6.adult Steps: 1.First, put two soda cans on each side at the ruler length apart. 2.next, stack the other two soda cans with one on each can. 3.then, put the ruler on top of the soda can towers and put The drinking glass between the towers. 4.next, place one magnet on the ruler and put the other magnet underneath the ruler so the magnets attached to each other. 5.then, attach the hex nuts with one of the time to the magnet underneath the ruler 6.finally, slowly detach the hex nut chain and bounce it on the edge of the glass. (Make sure the edge is directly below the magnet) Lesson: The magnets are causing the hex nuts to attract each other, and, thus, the hex nuts create their own magnetic field. When you detach the hex nuts from the magnet, there magnetic field is weaker.
Materials: 1. Water 2. A clear plastic bottle with a cap 3. Dish washing soap 4. Glitter Steps: 1. First, fill the bottle until it reaches 3 quarters full 2. Next, add 3 drops of dish washing soap in the bottle. 3. Then, sprinkle in 3 pinches of glitter. 4. Next, put the cap on tightly 5. Finally, turn the bottle upside down. And hold it by the neck. Quickly, spin the bottle in a circular motion for 10 seconds and stop to see a mini tornado in your bottle. Lesson: When you spin the bottle, it creates a water vortex. The water is spinning around the center of the vortex because of centripetal force. Centripetal force is an inward force directing an object or fluid towards the center of its circular path. Examples of natural vortexes are tornadoes, hurricanes, and waterspouts.
Meteors become meteorites when they hit the ground. Hundreds of meteors enter earths atmosphere every day, very few of them hit soil.
Hi everyone! I'm Ashley P. and I'm a Girl Scout who wants to make a difference in the world. Currently, I've been working on my Gold Award Project, which is a project where Girl Scouts solve an issue in their community to earn the Gold Award. The Gold Award is the highest award a Girl Scout can achieve. In my project, I'm addressing the issue on how there are a lack of women in the STEM field by creating a program to do fun science experiments with younger girls. Also, I constructed this blog for parents and children to do exciting and simple experiments with their kids to spark a passion in this subject like what happened to me as a child. I hope you enjoy and try to accomplish the experiments I post! Also, please have adult supervision while completing these experiments.
