Simple Science-

  Try some simple science experiments at home with your child or on your own.  All you need is wintergreen Lifesavers. Have fun. Lightning in Your MouthTurn out the lights and allow your eyes to become accustomed to the dark. Then, while looking into a mirror, pop a wintergreen Life Saver into your mouth and chew. Charge separation is produced as the candy fragments, and the discharge produces light. This phenomenon is called triboluminescence and can be observed with other flavors of hard candy–or even sugar cubes, but wintergreen flavor seems to work best.  

Marine Toys for Tots Foundation

                The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a shiny new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters that will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders.  I will be dropping off all donations at Toys ‘R Us the week before our Christmas break. All Toys ‘R Us and Babies ‘R Us are drop off sites for toy for tots.  Help the unfortunate this holiday season weather it be for this foundation or to the one close to your heart. Teaching our children the importance of giving back is a priceless gift.                                                                                                      “If you have much, give of your wealth; If you have little, give of your heart”                                                                                       http://www.toysfortots.org/donate/toys.asp  

Calling All Astronauts!!!

Here is a great link.  You can explore space just like the people do at NASA. There are so many cool things on this site, including games (flashdrive required).  Take a few minutes or hours to explore into space. Copy and paste this link or if you want to go straight to the games like I did, you can find the direct link to the science games on the sidebar.
