Here’s a cool experiment that you can try at home. If you have access to a microscope you can delve into more detail on one of nature’s most important and wonderful form, crystals. Crystals are not only beautiful to look at, they are building blocks for molecules and all sorts of natural materials. See what they look like!
Honeybees use nectar from flowers to make their honey. They use long tubelike tongues to suck the nectar out of the flowers and store it in their special honey stomach. Because they also have a regular stomach to hold their food, this stomach is only for holding the nectar, and when it’s full, it weighs as much as the bee does! And to fill this special stomach, the bee will visit between 100 and 1500 flowers.
What are these? There is nothing like finding out yourself. Not only does this experiment lead to some rather curious items, but it also helps illustrate some fundamental principles about liquid behavior. Oil and water, as you will see, do no mix easily.
Imagine lying on the floor of your tent, your sleeping bag unzipped, your hands folded behind your head. It has been a long day of hiking in the desert, and you are exhausted and so happy to be resting in the cool shade of night. All of the sudden, you hear it—an unmistakable skittering sound right outside of your tent. The bright moon provides enough light to allow for a silhouette. A scorpion. Its curled tail holds an ominous stinger. Aren’t you glad that you zipped your tent?
Many of us are excited to welcome in the year 2001, but did you know that not all countries celebrate the New Year at the same time?
In fact, the original origin of New Year’s was not even in January. Let’s explore the history of this fun holiday, and how other countries and cultures celebrate it.
In this article we’re going to explore the life of a honey bee, so let’s find out what the buzz is about.
Honey bees are social insects that live together in a colony. Within the colony, there are very strict guidelines as to what each bee does. There are three types of bees, the queen bee, the drone bee and the worker bee, and all have a very important function within the colony. The first kind of bee is the queen bee.
It’s that time of year again-when the weather turns cold and we like to snuggle in front of a fireplace with a hot cup of cocoa. But, have you ever noticed that when it is cold outside sometimes the hairs on your arms stand up and you get little bumps all over. But then when you go inside the little bumps dissappear. These little bumps are called goose bumps, but do you know what is actually happening with your body when you get these bumps?
The chemical reaction that occurs in this experiment will cause the bag you’re using to burst. BLAMMO!
Be careful, this is not for the easily scared. It is important to follow directions under the supervision of an adult. The insights you will gain have to do with chemicals, in this case ones that are to be found in most households.
“I learned my lesson from my mother at an early age: sports are good for young women. It’s good to compete, good to run, good to sweat, good to get dirty, good to feel tired and healthy and refreshed. We had no idea of tomboys–there is no word for it in the Czech language. Women played sports and had families and jobs. That simple. My mother was my role model.”– Martina Navratilova, from her autobiography called Martina.
What is it about goats that make people feel goofy? Maybe it’s the deadpan stare that the goat lays on you while it chews on something. While it’s chewing on your laundry basket, maybe. Or a tennis shoe. Goats are notorious for eating just about anything, and being very stubborn about it.
If you’ve ever visited a petting zoo, you’ve probably seen a goat getting a little bit pushy. That’s pretty typical goat behavior.
We’ve talked about the history of the airplane and how a few men gave their intelligent contributions to advance travel in the air. However, where do women fit into the picture of early aircraft travel? Well, one woman stands out as one of the most famous pilots of all time, and what makes this so great is that she was doing it during a time that women didn’t have many rights. They had just been given the right to vote in 1920, and by 1926, Amelia Earhart was flying planes and encouraging other women to do the same.
We’ve talked a lot about airplanes and flying. Now here’s your chance to make your own plane. It’s quick and easy, so grab a piece of paper and start folding! What you make can give you many hours of fun.
