Another experiment with eggs! Did you know that eggs could be SO versatile? This experiment is based in Earth Science and Chemistry. In this mission, you are asked to make crystals with different substances. Please have patience as this experiment will take time! Make sure to check out your crystals under a magnifying glass and describe the differences in your crystals in your mission report. Are they all the same size? Are they the same shape? You can try this with other powders that dissolve in water. There are some other
Eggs are marvelous things. Many wonderful things come from eggs. Many different animals hatch from eggs. There are many different colored and different sized eggs. They can also be good to eat. Eggs are also marvelous because of their shape. They are very strong and weak at the same time. This week your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to experiments with eggs! There are three experiments listed below: Egg Dip, Shell Strength, and Egg Drop. You will discover the physical properties of egg shells. Material scientists test a variety of materials to determine how much damage they can take and how strong different materials are. Choose to do one, two or all three egg material science experiments! Remember, your goal is to discover something new! You will get BrainPower Points for EACH experiment that you write up on a Mission Report. If you accidently break an egg during these experiments. Make sure to wash your hands with lots of soap and water. Science Buddies please help guide the activity, set up the experiment, and make sure to practice safe science! Please make sure that your child keeps their hands away from their T-zone (eyes, nose mouth) whenever experimenting.

Chemistry is the study of the stuff that makes up the world around us. The stuff that makes up everything is matter. Matter can react and interact in very interesting ways. For this mission you get to choose a few different types of candy to do experiments on. You will discover many interesting things about some of your favorite candies. This mission can be really fun because you are exploring to see what happens in different situations. I would recommend that for each different test that you do, make a prediction of what you think will happen. Things you Need to Get and Assemble Science Buddies please help guide the activity, set up the experiment, and make sure to practice safe science.

Things to Record (Write and Draw) Please remember to make a Mission Report to keep track of your experiments. Scientists keep a written and drawn record of what they do. Write down and draw what you did, what happened, and what you discovered. Clean Up
Websites with More Information and More Experiments Watch you red licorice and Gummy candies are made! A hovercraft is a vehicle that moves on a cushion of air. Your mission is to build a hovercraft. Things you Need to Get and Assemble Science Buddies please help guide the activity, set up the experiment, and help our junior scientist to practice safe science.
Here is a HowToon to help you see the parts. Things to Do and Notice
Use the HowToon directions or these directions from Steve Spangler Science to help you set up your Hovercraft.
