Home Chemistry: Endothermic Reactions
http://homechemistry.blogspot.com/2008/04/endothermic-reactions.html
At-Home Science Fun for Kids. Wednesday, April 16, 2008. As a continuation of our foray into heat-producing ( exothermic. Chemistry, we mixed up some solutions that became colder (endothermic). Endothermic reactions involve electrons jumping to higher orbitals, which requires an input of energy. The atoms absorb energy in the form of heat from the surrounding environment, thereby lowering the temperature. Unfortunately notetaking that day was not optimal, but here is an idea of what we did:. S) - 3 CO.

Home Biology: May 2010
http://homebiology.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Saratoga Woods and Waterways. Back when we started this blog our first project was a nature survey. Although we managed to identify many species that were new to us, we were only scratching the surface. I just discovered a blog by a local amateur naturalist Jackie Donnelly of Saratoga Springs, NY called Saratoga Woods and Waterways. Links to this post. Labels: 100 Species Challenge. Saturday, May 8, 2010. More Triops - and a Fairy Shrimp. Is now available on Amazon. I'm writer, tea...

Integrated Science at Home: Isolating DNA -- a long polymer chain
http://integratedscienceathome.blogspot.com/2011/04/isolating-dna-long-polymer-chain.html
Integrated Science at Home. Looking at the broad themes that tie different science disciplines together. Monday, April 25, 2011. Isolating DNA - a long polymer chain. Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol (70 or 91 percent). Small plate (preferably disposible). Blue food coloring (optional). Step 1: Chill the alcohol. Place the bottle of alcohol in the freezer to chill while preparing the next steps. (Do not leave in long enough to freeze! Step 2: Gather the DNA. In the plastic cup, mix ¼ teaspoon of salt in ...

Integrated Science at Home: First Law of Thermodynamics: Heating Sand by Shaking It
http://integratedscienceathome.blogspot.com/2010/11/first-law-of-thermodynamics-heating.html
Integrated Science at Home. Looking at the broad themes that tie different science disciplines together. Wednesday, November 17, 2010. First Law of Thermodynamics: Heating Sand by Shaking It. The first law of thermodynamics says that the total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant. There are many different forms of energy, and energy can shift from one form to another. So the total amount of energy in a closed system is the sum of all the different forms of energy added together. Poke the ...

Integrated Science at Home: Bending Light
http://integratedscienceathome.blogspot.com/2011/01/bending-light.html
Integrated Science at Home. Looking at the broad themes that tie different science disciplines together. Thursday, January 13, 2011. Lecture 14 of The Joy of Science. Describes the properties of Electromagnetic Radiation, including light. Light waves can be made to bend as they pass through substances of different densities, like air and water. One experiment I always wanted to try was using a stream of water like a fiber optic cable. Clear empty soda bottle with cap. Set up the laser pointer so it is ly...

Integrated Science at Home: Splitting Saltwater
http://integratedscienceathome.blogspot.com/2011/04/splitting-saltwater.html
Integrated Science at Home. Looking at the broad themes that tie different science disciplines together. Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Last week we watched an episode of The Joy of Science. Dealing with elements that have an affinity for one another, like sodium and chlorine. In the great Theo Gray book Mad Science. He shows that combining sodium and chlorine to make your own salt results in quite a bang. Into its component elements. A medium-sized glass bowl. 2 NaCl 2 H 2. O → Cl 2. That means, two sodium ch...
