You need:
A glass jar or clear drinking glass Vegetable oil Salt Water Food colouring (if you want)
What to do: Pour about 8 cm of water into the jar. Pour about 1/3 cup of vegetable oil into the jar. When everything settles, is the oil on top of the water or underneath it? If you want, add one drop of food colouring to the jar. What happens? Is the drop in the oil or in the water? Does the colour spread? Shake salt on top of the oil while you count slowly to 5. Wow! What happens to the food colouring? What happens to the salt? Add more salt to keep the action going for as long as you want.
Hoopster
What do I need?
scissors ruler clear plastic tape plastic straws (not the kind that bends) 3x5-inch file cards (or a file folder or some other stiff paper)
What do I do? Cut a file card into three equal strips that are 1 inch wide and 5 inches long. Put a piece of tape on the end of one strip. Curl the paper into a little hoop and tape the ends together. Put the other strips end to end and tape them together. Put one end of a straw onto the middle of a strip of tape. Put the big hoop on top of the straw and fold the tape up the sides of the hoop. Put another strip of tape at the other end of the straw. Press the small hoop very gently onto the tape. Move it around until it lines up with the big hoop, then press the tape down firmly.
Hold the Hoopster in the middle of the straw, with the little hoop in front. Throw it like a spear. It may take a little practice, but once you get the hang of it, your Hoopster will really fly!
Do eyes grow?
Your eyes do grow as you age, but only a little bit. This is why babies have such big eyes. The rest of their bodies is much smaller than a full grown adult, but their eyes are about the same size. So as you grow, your face and body get much bigger to catch up with your eyes.
