6. YOU WILL NEED Clear jar with lid Water Food coloring Glitter Vegetable oil Salt Flashlight Fill the jar three-quarters full of water. Add drops of food coloring until you like the color you see. A few drops go a long way! Sprinkle in glitter for extra sparkle. Fill the jar almost to the top with vegetable oil and let the mixture separate. Pour salt into the jar until you see the cool lava lamp effect. When the bubbles stop, add more salt to see it again. Shine a flashlight behind the jar to watch your lava lamp really glow!

7. YOU WILL NEED One raw egg Salt HERE’S HOW Take the raw egg and try to balance it on a hard surface (you will have a difficult time keeping the egg balanced). Now, make a tiny mound of salt on a hard, smooth surface. Very carefully balance the egg on top of the salt, then gently blow the excess salt away. With patience and a steady hand, you should succeed. Note: Try this experiment without the salt about March 20, on the spring equinox, or about September 23, on the autumn equinox. During the equinoxes the sun appears directly overhead at the Equator, and the length of night and day are nearly equal worldwide. Carefully balance the egg on a hard smooth surface. If it doesn't balance, then try the experiment with some salt. Egg-periment!

8. Star Gazing-A scout walks to the center of the campfire looking up at the sky, keeping his head and neck very still. Soon he is joined by another scout and then another and so on. Each scout looks around and then begins to look at the sky. The last scout enters and asks the scout next to him, “what are we looking at?” He answers “I don’t know,” and then that scout asks the next until the question gets to the original scout. He replies “ I’m not looking at anything. I’ve got a stiff neck!” Star Wars Song Tune: Frere Jacques R2 D2, R2 D2 3PO, 3PO Obi Wan Kenobi, Obi Wan Kenobi Hans Solo, Hans Solo Skits/Songs
