Egg Parachutes

Oct 15, 2019 Posted by: Jemelee Arcibal bored kids,  kids activities

The goal is to make each one float back to the ground with its parachute catching air. That was something we need to explore!

Here are the supplies for the science experiments:

  • Plastic egg halves
  • Large plastic straws
  • Narrow bendy straws
  • Popsicle sticks
  • Wooden ice cream spoons
  • Wood chopsticks
  • Coffee filters
  • Masking tape

Putting the Egg Parachutes Together

The two matching connectors were taped inside each of the plastic egg halves. We added tape that crossed from the inside of the egg to the outside around each connector to make sure it stayed in place. Then a ring of the tape was added to the outside of each of the eggs to hold the outside edges of the crisscrosses in place.

Then we taped the connectors to the outside of a coffee filter. To add another variable we could have taped connector to the inside of the coffee filter. We have to try more science experiments using that idea on another day.

Your children will have fun conducting science experiments with plastic Easter eggs. After they have attended an egg hunt, you will have plenty of eggs to conduct experiments with.

MANGO AND YOGURT POPSICLES

MANGO AND YOGURT POPSICLES

Eating clean can help clear up your skin, boost your metabolism, increase your energy, and reduce your risk of developing diabetes. As we all know, starting a routine can be difficult and the earlier you start the easier it gets, which is why finding clean eating recipes for kids is a great option for families looking to adopt a clean eating lifestyle.

Mango and Yogurt Popsicles are fun for breakfast! Yogurt and mangoes frozen on a stick are so much more fun than eating yogurt and fruit from a bowl!  

Prep: 5 mins

Total: 5 mins

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt
  • 2 mangoes - peeled and cored (the mango flesh should weigh approximately 240 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Blend everything together until smooth.
  • Pour mixture into popsicle molds. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until frozen.
  • If you prefer a creamier texture, every 30 minutes for the first 2 hours, remove the popsicles from the freezer and stir the mixture to break apart any pieces of ice.

 

Easy Two - Ingredient Cloud Dough

Easy Two - Ingredient Cloud Dough

Easy Two - Ingredient Cloud Dough

 

Easy Cloud Dough Ingredients

  • Hair conditioner. Any kind, as long as it’s creamy and CHEAP. Don’t use the expensive stuff. Keep in mind that your play dough will smell like the conditioner, so use something that smells great.
  • Cornstarch.
  • A bowl.
  • A popsicle stick or spatula.
  • Gel food colors (optional)

How to Make Cloud Dough

Put equal parts hair conditioner and cornstarch in your bowl, and start mixing them together. It will most likely look like marshmallow fluff at this point, which is way too wet.

Start adding more cornstarch in slowly and mixing as you go. You’ll end up with close to a 2 part cornstarch to 1 part conditioner ratio, but that depends on your brand of conditioner and cornstarch. Once it isn’t quite coming together with the spatula, use your hands and start squishing it together. If it’s too wet, add more cornstarch. If it feels too dry, add more conditioner. When you’re happy with the feel of your cloud dough, roll it up into a big ball!

If you want to add color, just grab some gel food colors. Separate your cloud dough into balls for how many different colors you want, and use your knuckle to make an indent in the ball. Add one drop of color to each ball.

Then fold up the dough around the color drop, and start mixing it in until the color is fully incorporated. If the dough feels too wet after adding the color, just sprinkle on a tiny bit of cornstarch and kneed it in.
