Science Ideas
- Use a compass. Shake it up and it will always return to true North.
- There is a science experiment (although I can't remember the formula) of (I think) cornstarch and water, achieve a heavy, thick like sauce (like banana bread batter) and put it into an ice cream pail. If you punch it with a fist, it will be hard as stone and your hand will not hurt, but it will just bounce off. But if you break the surface gently, like diving your hand into it slowly, it will be like soup! Perhaps a Chemistry teacher out there can assist with this, this was 14 years ago for me!
Posted by jerrie lynn -The cornstarch mix is one box of cornstarch to almost a cup of water. Add water slowly to make sure the mix isn't too thin.
Jerrie Lynn - Cookies with a high content of butter tend to "spread out" or level out on a cookie sheet from the blobs that they once were.
- In carpentry, a plum line will always direct to a correct level and vertical line. Also, a "Level" for horizontal planes.
- Children's toys "weeble woobles" I see they are now available again (can you tell I am a child of the 1970's)
That's all I have for now, best wishes!
