There’s an intricate world beneath our feet! [Reddit/interestingasfuck]

Coke cans in acid and base. Destroying things with science!

Materials: 1. A wooden skewer 2. A clothespin 3. 1 cup of water 4. 2-3 cups of sugar 5. A tall narrow glass

Steps: 1. First, clip the skewer into the clothespin so that it hangs down inside the glass and is 1 in from the bottom of the glass. 2. Next, remove the skewer and clothespin and put the aside. 3. Then, pour the water into a pan and boil it. 4. Next, pour ¼ cup of sugar into the boiling water and stir till it dissolves. 5. Then, keep adding more sugar, each time stirring until it dissolves. 6. Next, remove the heat and allow it to cool for 20 minutes. 7. Then, ask an adult to pour the mixture into the jar to the top. 8. Next, submerge the skewer into the glass so it is hanging straight down the miss without touching the sides. 9. Finally, put it somewhere where it would not be disturbed and wait for the sugar crystals grow over the next 3-7 days.

Lesson: When you mix water and sugar, you created a saturated mixture, which means that the water could only hold the sugar if it was very hot. As the water cools, the sugar turns into crystals on the skewer.

Materials: 1. 3 white carnations 2. Scissors 3. Food coloring 4. 3 small cups 5. Water

Steps: 1. First, get the 3 small cups and add ¾ of the cup with water. 2. Next, in each cup at 8 drops of food coloring of your choice. (Make sure to pour different colors for in each cup to create more multi colorful flowers) 3. Then, snip the last centimeter of the carnations’ stem and place each flower in the colored water. 4. Finally, wait for 2-4 days to see the results.

Lesson: Transpiration is when plants draw water up through its stem, and , thus, the water evaporates from the leaves’ stomata. As the water evaporates, it creates pressure that brings more water into the plant. Since the water had color, it made the flowers become that color.

The new class of NASA astronauts if finally gender-balanced: 50% are women. What’s more — this class might be the one that gets to fly to Mars. (📷: @glamourmag)

The Feminine Face of Space

Museum of Cosmonauts, 1984 - 2015 

Google Doodle celebrating the birthday of mathematician and inventor Hertha Marks Ayrton (1854-1923).

We grew some cress in box with a lid on it, that had one small hole for light. The result: a beautiful example of phototropism, plants growing and moving towards a source of light.

This is a great activity to try at home with the kids.

Materials: 1. A D size battery 2. Paper clips 3. 3 feet of thin coated copper wire 4. A 3 inch large iron nail

Steps: 1. First, leave 8 inches of wire at one end and wrap most of the rest of the wire on the nail ( do not overlap the wires). 2. Next, leave 8 inches of wire at the other end of the nail. 3. Then, remove an inch of the plastic coating from both ends of the wire and attach one end of the wire to one end of the battery and the other wire to the other end of the battery. 4. Finally, put the nail near the paper clips and it should pick them up!

Lesson: Magnets that cannot be turned off like ones on our refrigerators are called permanent magnets. Since the magnet we made can be turned off and on, it is known as an electromagnet. They run on electricity and are only magnetic when the electricity is flowing through the wires, which has the molecules in the nail attract to the metal paper clips.
