This is such an easy slime recipe you’ll hardly believe it!  Just mix up 4 cups of shaving cream, four tablespoons of contact solution, and 2 cups of glue. Add food coloring if you want. Then you just mix it until it feels like your arm will fall off. Easy as that.  Have fun slime makers!

 Do you need a cool science experiment to do with your homeschooled kids or teens? Here is my personal favorite. Fill a glass with apple cider vinegar and add in a single egg. Make sure the vinegar completely covers the egg. Soon you will see bubbles forming around the egg. Normally bubbles are formed by pockets of air getting into the water. But with this experiment, the bubbles are caused by the vinegar reacting with the outer egg shell and releasing carbon dioxide.  Leave your egg in the vinegar for at least twenty four hours. The vinegar will react and bind with the molecules in the egg shell and dissolve it. Only the outer membrane will remain.  Now you can jiggle and play with your egg. If you break it open you will see that the inner yolk is still raw and preserved within the outer membrane.  Before:  After: Unfortunately the egg broke after I bounced it around too much but as you can see it formed a plastic outer casing that looks and feels like a popped balloon. It was very fu

 This is a super fun, artsy, and colorful science project to do with your kids. This is great and simple for any ages. All you need is three see through containers, two folded sheets of paper towels (I folded them in half twice), and red and blue food coloring. Fill two containers with water and add three drops of the food coloring. Stir well. Place the empty one in the middle.  Then fold your paper towels and place the ends in the colored water. Add the dry ends into the center container. Make sure they’re touching.  Quickly the water will start to crawl up the paper towels.  What is the science behind this? Talk to your students while the water climbs. It will take an hour at most and really depends on your paper towels and containers.  The process of the water climbing the paper towel is called capillary action. This means the molecules of the water and the paper “get along” better than the molecules circulating inside of the water. As a result, they bind together and travel towards
