Today we made slime, it was pretty awesome. After making the slime we had a slime fight out in the cul-de-sac and even sacked the camera man. This was a pretty simple experiment that included Borax, water, glue and food coloring. Ella really enjoyed this one.

Diet Coke Mentos Geyser, experiment #2
5 FebThis week Ella wanted to blow something up. So, Michelle suggested the Diet Coke-Mentos experiment. After watching a few videos and doing a little research Ella and I went shopping and got the supplies we would need to pull this off. The result was pure awesomeness. We had a blast and learned about chemical reactions along the way.
Things you need:
4 Diet Coke 2 liter bottles
4 tubes Mentos
*1 test tube (or 4 if you want to do them all at once)
*As an alternative you can use a piece of paper rolled into the shape of a tube.
Gooey Gunk, experiment #1
4 FebLast weekend Ella came home and wanted to do an experiment. After digging around looking for something Michelle remembered that she had a book of experiments for elementary kids. So we settled on Gooey Gunk which transforms a mixture to a solid state and back to liquid depending if pressure is applied. When squeezed you get a solid and when no pressure is applied you get a liquid.

This fun experiment takes the following:
3/4 cup corn starch
1/3 cup water
Food coloring of choice
Gooey Gunk
