🥚🩶Ready for an egg-stra special experiment?

🥚🩶Ready for an egg-stra special experiment? Try making a silver egg! (It surprised me too! 😮)

🕯️What you need: a candle, a match, tongs, a raw egg, and a glass of water

🥚What’s the science? When you burn an egg, it creates a carbon soot layer on the eggshell. When the soot-y egg is then dunked in water the carbon layer repels the water and the air covering the shell forms an optical illusion of a silver sheened shell!

🐇Beat that one Easter Bunny! 😉

🎭Let the good times roll today with Mardi Gras

🎭Let the good times roll today with Mardi Gras beads and inertia…

👩‍🔬Here’s how: We cut three Mardi Gras bead necklaces and glued them together to make one long bead. Then we coiled it up in a jar, pulled a few out, and watch the chain reaction!

👩‍🔬What’s the science? This is Newton’s Law of Motion at its finest - when an object is in motion, it stays in motion - when an object is at rest it stays at rest unless acted on by an outside force. In this case, gravity causes the beads to roll out of the jar and inertia keeps them going!

🔥🎈Fireproof Balloon: thanks to the amazing p

🔥🎈Fireproof Balloon: thanks to the amazing property of water called heat capacity (or the ability of water to hold heat.)

🔥First fill a balloon with air and hold it to the flame of a candle. Note the amount of time it took for the balloon to pop.

🔥Next fill a balloon with water and hold it to a flame of a candle. Note the amount of time it took to pop. (I only tried it for about a minute – technically you could hold it until the water boiled!)

🔥What’s the science? The balloon filled with air pops almost instantaneously while the water balloon doesn’t because of the heat capacity of water. Water holds over 4 times more heat than air. This allows the plastic of the water balloon to remain intact as the heat of the flame is absorbed by the water. The black soot that forms on the balloon is partly from the balloon and partly from the candle burning. 🤯

💘Valentine Cupid Science: Need to spice up your Valentine’s Day science lesson with a little help form Cupid? Check this out!

💘Do you think Cupid’s arrow can pierce the heart “balloon” without popping it? Why, yes of course. All you need is a little olive oil and to know exactly where to point the arrow and shoot!

💘What’s the science: Balloons (unlike hearts!) are made of polymers and when the balloon is inflated, it stretches the polymers thin. The area of the balloon where the polymers are least stretched (and more forgiving to a puncture by Cupid) are at the opening and at the top. Add a bit of olive oil to help the “arrow” out without popping the balloon!

This day 39 years ago had a profound impact on me

This day 39 years ago had a profound impact on me as an elementary-aged kid watching the Challenger explosion on the news. As with most things that rock my world - it made it into the pages of the Halley Harper books. My fabulous illustrator @gingko.ghost did a great job capturing the characters’ excitement moments before the explosion.

I also think Reagan said it best: “The crew of the space shuttle Challenger honored us by the manner in which they lived their lives. We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them, this morning, as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye and “slipped the surly bonds of earth’’ to “touch the face of God.’’

Writing a prequel has me strolling down memory lan

Writing a prequel has me strolling down memory lane with all my favorite memories of writing the Halley Harper Science Girl Extraordinaire series.

The prequel follows Halley and Gracelyn’s moms as they look for Halley’s Comet in 1986! Do they encounter familiar characters? Yes. Do they find out the backstory behind Camp Eureka? Yes. Do they encounter a villain? Um, yeah. Do they have an adventure worthy to tell their own grandkids in 2061 when Halley returns? You betcha.

Grab the series today and get ready for when the prequel releases in 2025. Halley Harper fans.. this prequel is for you. https://a.co/d/igKZ1zD
