Family Science: Science Crafts

Many families take a long break at Christmas and New Year’s Day.  Would you like some science crafts?  First up is Benzoic Acid Blizzard in a Bottle.  (Snow globes). Home Science Tools sells benzoic acid.  Little kiddos can make glitter snow globes.  Grow Alum Crystals, Borax Crystals, or a Salt Crystal Garden.  Here are several winter, science experiments, including a snowball catapult, designed for younger kiddos.  Here are instructions to write your name in binary code.  Little Bins for Little Hands has a host of winter activities, including binary, winter words, such as ‘frosty’.  One last idea—Melting Ice Experiment.  Freeze ice in a plastic bowl.  Drop salt and paint over the ice globe.  I have used tempera paint successfully for this experiment.  Merry Christmas!
