LOVE THIS BOOK!

I have found a new book that is so much fun!  Naked Eggs and Flying Potatoes by Steve Spangler.  Now if that doesn't sound fun and interesting!  The subtitle is Unforgettable experiments that make science fun!  And boy does it make science fun!  There are tons of experiments that have to do with the power of air, kitchen chemistry, dry ice, gooey wonders, and so much more.  There are several experiments I want to try with my kids.  One has to do with soaking eggs in vinegar.  The vinegar causes the hard shell of the egg to dissipate leaving only the membrane.  From this point there are several fun experiments you can do.  Again these type of activities, if you can fit them into your lessons, can add so much to student learning.  It raises interest and helps students retain the information.  Making science fun!
