How to make a Naked Egg : Imagination Station

How to make a Naked Egg : Imagination Station
Imagination Station
An egg soaking in vinegar with part of it’s shell dissolved.


THE "NAKED" EGG 

 This is really cool! It will amaze your kids and teach them some science all at once. 

 Christina Haswell says: I did this for a science project when I was a kid about 20 yrs. ago n passed it on to my son when he did his science project last year. It's really cool! It takes about 4 to 7 days.

 Put an egg in a cup and fill it with apple cider vinegar till egg is covered. Cover tightly n let it sit. Each day give it a swirl. At the end u rinse off the egg n VIOLA! A rubber egg! Just be careful...it will bounce but is still delicate. And very smelly when it breaks. LOL ...Not rotten -- just smells like vinegar. Always keep it in the fridge during the whole process too.

 Stefany Smith added: If you place the "naked egg" in corn syrup, it will shrink/shrivel up. The vinegar inside the egg moves through the semi-permeable membrane.

 You can then place it in water with food coloring and "color" the inside of the egg and it will fill up again due to osmosis

ninepointedstar – medallions

ninepointedstar – medallions

I found a medallion today in the parking lot by Blue Mountain Foods.  Apparently someone has glued them to sidewalks outside of libraries and small businesses throughout America.  Only 29 have been discovered.  No one claims that they placed the medallions.  Weird.  The one I found was not glued down at all.  Here is where I found it.  http://goo.gl/maps/ru63o

Someone you know ill? Watch what you say, and to whom - latimes.com

Someone you know ill? Watch what you say, and to whom - latimes.com

My cousin's wife is fighting cancer.  He shared this.  The person in crisis is in the center.  The person they are most connected to in the first ring.   Now draw a larger circle around the first one. In that ring put the name of the person next closest to the trauma. Repeat the process as many times as you need to. In each larger ring put the next closest people. 

If you need to complain or offer advice give it to someone in a circle larger than yours.  Only comfort goes to those in circles smaller than yours.
