Octopuses are smart! They play with toys, pull off daring escapes, and are masters of disguise. But they’re also smart in a lot of ways that the human mind probably can’t comprehend. For example, they basically have independent brains in their arms!

Materials: 1. 9" balloon 2. CD 3. water bottle pop-top cap 4. A hot glue gun 5. Push pin Steps: 1. First, cover the center hole of the CD with a piece of tape and poke 6 holes in the tape with a push pin. 2. Next, use the hot glue gun to glue the cap to the center of the CD. 3. Then, blow up the balloon and pinch its neck. 4. Next, make sure the pop-top is closed and fit the neck of the balloon over the pop-up portion of the cap. 5. Finally, put the craft on a smooth surface and pop the top open. Lesson: The air flow created by the balloon causes a cushion of moving air between the disc and the surface. This lifts the CD and reduces the friction, which allows the CD to hover.

How To Make Invisible Ink
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.
