People worry that you can’t really teach your kids science without a school lab. Well, try these on for size;)!
You can simulate a white hole in your kitchen sink. Wired has a great article on not only how to do the white hole but a great break down of what it really is.
Then you can pop over to OrbitingFrog to read how to measure the speed of light. All you need is a microwave, a microwave safe square (or rectangle) dish and marshmallows or chocolate chips! It is an awesome experiment!
So go, learn and have fun with science!!!
That is so incredibly awesome! I love the nerdy sciency things I see on your site. Thanks for them!
I nominated you for a bloggy award, if you are interested in picking it up, please go here:

Thanks again! I’m trying this one out tomorrow!
I LOVE home science experiments. These are really great! Like the idea of being able to test speed of light with a microwave, will definitely have to check it out!
Thanks for sharing.
How neat. Thanks for sharing.
This is great! We are just beginning homeschooling and we have been doing a Science Kit, but I need to get more into the meat of it! Thanks for the sites!
