Family Science: Water Beads

My Chemistry Co-op class is doing the Ghost Crystals Lab.  I put in extra beads in the Chem kits for the siblings—most of of kids have large families.  What can you do with water beads?  HST has a science lesson.  You can put the water beads in a DIY lava lamp.  Put clear beads in tonic water so they will glow.
