Blowing up!

So a few weeks ago my cub scouts and I played with a few volcano's...it's was a big hit! My daughter felt very left out so afterward we did a few more afterward.

First do this:Then after this...you add 2 TB water, 1TB baking powder, few drops of food coloring, and 3-4 drops of dish soap!Mix well!Pour in 2 TB of vinegar.Then smile big!Take two...with yellow dye!Oh what fun! Anymore ideas of fun things to do for scouts and family time?

I always loved that experiment. (Hopefully that's my only interaction with "volcanoes" though..)

We used to play 'Steal and Bacon' on occasion; however, since I was in a cub scout troop of 1 for most of my boyhood, ideas don't flow quite so freely...

Here's a fun "rocket" adventure. If you have an old 35mm film canister, (good luck on that one) fill it half way with water, add half of an alka-seltzer tablet. Snap the lid on, turn it upside-down with the lid down. Stand back and count down from 10. It will pop up in the air. Trust me, we've done it for years in our TK class.

Have fun with those cub scouts!
