Having Fun With Science Experiments! As with all science experiments, it is important to have responsible adult supervision.
Mixing Oil and Water Blowing Up Balloons With CO2 Chemical reactions make for some great experiments. Make use of the carbon dioxide given off by a baking soda and lemon juice reaction, by funnelling the gas through a soft drink bottle. Blowing up balloons was never so easy! What you'll need: Balloon About 1/4 cup of water Soft drink bottle Drinking straw Juice from a lemon 1 teaspoon of baking soda Instructions: Before you begin, make sure that you stretch out the balloon to make it as easy to inflate. Pour the 1/4 cup of water into the soft drink bottle. Add teaspoon of baking soda and stir it around with the straw until it has dissolved. Pour the lemon juice in and quickly put the stretched balloon over the mouth of the bottle. What's happening? If all goes right, your balloon should inflate! Adding the lemon juice to the baking soda creates a chemical reaction. The baking soda is a base, while the lemon juice is an acid, and when the two are combined they create carbon dioxide (CO2). The gas rises up and escapes through the soft drink bottle. However, the gas can’t escape the balloon, so it pushes it outward, blowing it up.
Some things just don't get along when they are combined. For example, take oil and water. You can mix them together and shake as hard as you like but they'll never become mixed together.....or will they? What you'll need: 16 ounce clear plastic soft drink bottle About 1/4 cup of water Food coloring 2 tablespoons of cooking oil Dish washing liquid Instructions: Add a few drops of food coloring to the water in a small glass. Add 2 tablespoons of the colored water and 2 tablespoons of cooking oil into the clear soft drink bottle. Screw on the lid tightly and shake the bottle as hard as you can. Put the bottle down and take a close look. It may have seemed the liquids were mixing together, but the oil will float back to the top. What's happening? While water often mixes with other liquids to form solutions, oil and water does not. Water molecules are strongly attracted to each other and this is the same for oil. Because they are more attracted to their own molecules, they just don't mix together. They separate. The oil floats above the water because it has a lower density. If you really think oil and water belong together then try adding a tablespoon of dish washing liquid. Dish washing liquid is attracted to both water and oil helping them all join together and form something called an emulsion. This is extra handy when washing greasy dishes!

Mellow Mushrooms Mushroom corals are very unique creatures. Most of these animals are smaller than a CD, and some are as small as a quarter. They come in many colors: orange, purple, blue, pink, red, green and all the combinations in between. Mushrooms also can be bumpy, smooth, striped or frilly. Related to anemones, most mushrooms have symbiotic algae that live inside them and provide them some food. They will also collect tiny bits of food in the mucus that covers their bodies and will eat that for dinner. Unlike anemones, they do not have long tentacles, but some have tentacles that they will use to keep other corals from getting too close.
A Mushroom for You Mushrooms can be a very cool and colorful addition to a reef tank. They are not as picky about light, and they will grow on just about anything. These cool little animals can give your tank a little character and lots of color.
Make Yummy Coral Mushrooms at Home!
Try This!
What you will need: pancake mix chocolate chips powdered sugar blueberry jam your parent's help
When they are scared, or not eating, the mushrooms will close up into small little bubbles. This protects them from predators. Although they are sometimes the prey, they can also be the predators. The biggest mushrooms can be 1 foot across and can eat small fish!
Mushrooms are very important for coral reefs. They are tougher than hard corals and are not hurt by pollution as easily. They will cover dead coral and recolonize areas that have been damaged. These little animals can can be very important and pretty darn cool. This page proudly sponsored by:

Minerals In My Body? When you hear about minerals, you typically think of something found in the earth. But, did you know small amounts of minerals are in the foods we eat? Minerals help your body develop, stay healthy and grow. They have many functions within our body such as building strong bones, transmitting nerve impulses, making hormones and maintaining a normal heartbeat. There are two kinds of minerals. They are Macrominerals or “Macro” and Trace minerals. In the Greek language, macro means large. It makes sense then, that our body needs large amounts of macrominerals. Trace means a very, very small amount of something. Your body needs trace minerals too, but only a little bit of each one. The macromineral family is made up of calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and sulfur. The trace mineral family includes manganese, copper, iodine, zinc, cobalt, fluoride and selenium. Here are some minerals you get from foods: Calcium - (kal-see-uhm) is the top macromineral when it comes to your bones. Calcium helps build strong bones and healthy teeth. It is important to get enough calcium during your childhood to fight against bone loss later in life. Foods with calcium are dairy products like milk, cheese and yogurt. Calcium can also be found in broccoli and dark green, leafy vegetables. Plus, don’t forget calcium-fortified foods like orange juice and some cereals. Iron - Your body needs iron to transport oxygen as part of the red blood cells, from the lungs to the rest of your body. Your entire body needs oxygen to stay healthy and alive. Iron is important in the making of hemoglobin (hee-muh-glo-bun), which is the part of your red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Foods that are rich in iron are red meat, pork, fish, shellfish, poultry, lentils, beans, soy foods, green leafy vegetables and raisins. Potassium - (puh-tah-see-um) keeps your muscles and nervous system working properly. Potassium helps to make sure the amount
of water in your blood and body tissues (like muscles) is balanced. Potassium rich foods are bananas, broccoli, potatoes with skins, leafy green vegetables, citrus fruits like oranges, peas, and lima beans. Zinc - (zink) helps your body’s immune system. What is the immune system? It is your body’s system for fighting off illnesses and infections. Zinc also helps with cell growth and helps heal wounds. Foods that have zinc in them are red meat, poultry, seafoods, nuts, dried beans, soy foods, milk and other dairy products, whole grains, and fortified breakfast cereals. Magnesium - (mag-nee-zee-uhm) helps your muscles and nerves function properly. It keeps your heartbeat steady and bones strong. It also helps the body create energy and make proteins. You can get magnesium from whole grains, whole grain breads, nuts, seeds, green leafy vegetables, potatoes, beans, avocados, bananas, milk and CHOCOLATE!! Phosphorus - (fos-fer-uhs) helps in the formation of healthy bones and teeth. It helps the body make energy and is a part of every cell in the body. The body needs phosphorus to work normally. This mineral is found in most foods, but the best source are dairy foods, meat and fish. Minerals are a very important part of your daily life. Eating a variety of nutritional foods can help you get the proper amount of minerals you need to stay healthy.

What Is A Harpsichord? The harpsichord is a musical instrument that looks like a piano but it sounds much different. Like the piano, it is played by means of a keyboard. It produces it’s sound by plucking a string (rather than striking, as in a piano) when a key is pressed. The harpsichord was used in Renaissance and Baroque music. The first music written for the solo harpsichord was published around the 16th century. Some of the famous composers that wrote music for the harpsichord were William Byrd, Domenico Scarlatti, J.S. Bach, Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. During the late 18th century, it gradually disappeared from the music scene with the rise of the piano, but in the 20th century, it came back. It’s being used in historical performance of older music, in new compositions and in popular culture.
Johann Sebastian Bach Johann Sebastian Bach was and is a famous composer. He was born in Eisenach, Germany. He was born March 21, 1685. His father was a town musician. In fact, over 300 years of his ancesters all worked as professional musicians. As a child, Bach's father taught him to play violin and harpsichord. His parents had died by the time Johann was ten, so his older brother raised him. His brother, Johann Christoph was the organist at St. Michael’s Church, Ohrdruf in Germany and it is assumed he taught Bach much about the organ. He also learned about organ building where he fixed the church organ often. Johann held three major jobs in his life. He first worked for a duke, then a prince and finally became the director of music at the St. Thomas Church and School in Leipzig, Germany. His job kept him very busy. He became the cantor, organist and music composer and remained there for the rest of his life. In his spare time, Bach conducted a group of musicians and performed at a local coffee house. He was thought of as just an ordinary musician until about 100 years after his death. At this time, Felix Mendelssohn, another composer conducted a performance of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion. Bach composed in many established musical forms, including, for example, the cantata and fugue, and developed them into complex pieces. He composed over 1,100 works in almost every musical genre (except opera). Bach was married twice and had over 20 children, including four who became famous musicians in their own right, including Carl Philipp Emanuel, Wilhelm Friedemann, Johann Christoph Friedrich, and Johann Christian. Bach is now known as one of the great geniuses of music.

That core is surrounded by a deep layer of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium. The very last outside layer is a gaseous outer layer. Saturn is a pale yellow color due to the amount of ammonia crystals in the upper atmosphere.

Republic of Cyprus
• Cyprus is a large island that is located in the Eastern Aegean area of the Mediterranean. It is about the size of Connecticut. The coastline is approximately 400 miles around. It is a divided island with the northern portion under Turkish control, called the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. This is not recognized by the United Nations or any other country. The southern portion is an independent republic called the Republic Of Cyprus. This area is controlled by the officially recognized Cyprus government. • Because of a Turkish invasion in 1974, the United Nations made a buffer zone and that zone runs through the middle of the island and right through the capital Nicosia. The capital is divided by “The Green Line” into two parts. This is similar to the way Berlin was once divided. Access between the two parts of Cyprus has often been restricted. A United Nations peacekeeping force patrols the “green line”. • The Mediterranean climate of Cyprus has hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. The sun shines brightly there around 300 days a year. • There is a central plain with a limestone mountain range to the north called Kyrenia and the Troodos Mountains in the southwest. Cyprus in well known for its beautiful beaches. • The people of Cyprus are known as Cypriots. • Their products are potatoes, vegetables, citrus fruits, olives, grapes, wheat, and carob seeds. • Natural resources are pyrites, copper, asbestos, gypsum, lumber, salt, marble, clay and earth pigment. • The two largest rivers are the Pedias and Kariyoti. • Cyprus has a prosperous economy. The island gets a major share of its income from the tourism industry. • The traditional music of Cyprus shares many similarities with the Greek mainland and island folk music. The most common instruments used in the folk music of the country are the lute, violin and the Cyprus flute called “pithkiavlin”. • Hellium cheese, popularly called halloumi, is a product of this country that was initially made during the Medieval Byzantine period.
Cyprus is the home to the mythical birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite. Aphrodite is known as the Greek god of love and beauty. On a rock that protrudes from the sea, Aphrodite was allegedly born from the waves. Today the folklore is that if you swim around the rock three times, it will bring eternal youth.
Mount Olympus is the highest point in Cyprus at 6,403 feet.
