Thank you to the folks at Storey who made it all happen, especially Deanna Cook, Lisa Hiley, and Jessica Armstrong. Thank you, Tim Martin, for your close reading and scientific expertise. And, finally, thank you, Sarah, for appreciating my compulsion to fill our kitchen windowsills with sweet potato vines, avocado trees, dripping stalactites, shell-less eggs, weightlifting beans, and grass-haired men. Every mad scientist needs an understanding assistant. Science is the key to our future, and if you don’t believe in science, then you’re holding everybody back. — Bill Nye the Science Guy 622986.MasonJarScience_FinalPgs.indd 5 2/23/18 12:00 PM CONTENTS What’s So Great about Science? . . . . . . . . . . 10 Why Mason Jars? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 Using the Scientific Method to Solve Mysteries . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 15 Lava Lamp 2 .0 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 16 Water Fireworks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 18 Wide World of Slimes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 19 GOO . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 20 SLIME . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 23 MICROWAVE PLAY CLAY . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 24 Red Cabbage Chemistry Set . . . . . . . . . . . 26 A Penny for Your Scientific Thoughts . . . 28 Fun with Crystals . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30 A Better Bubble . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 33 622986.MasonJarScience_FinalPgs.indd 6 2/23/18 12:00 PM 39 Jar-rarium . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40 At-Home Museum . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 43 String of Stalactites . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 46 Cornstarch Quicksand . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48 Homemade Compass . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 Dead Sea in a Jar . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 52 How’s the Weather? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 54 BALLOON BAROMETER . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 55 TINY TORNADO . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 58 CONJURE A CLOUD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 60 RAIN GAUGE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 62 622986.MasonJarScience_FinalPgs.indd 7 2/23/18 12:00 PM 65 Capillary Colors . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 66 Root View . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 68 The Kitchen Jar-den . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70 COOL CARROT FOREST . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 71 SUPER SWEET POTATO . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 72 AWESOME AVOCADO TREE . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 74 Grass Heads . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 76 Very Berry Ink . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 79 Seedling Superman! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 82 85 Make a Bug Vacuum . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 86 Hummingbird Feeder . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 88 Critter Containers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 91 WORM COMPOSTER . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 92 622986.MasonJarScience_FinalPgs.indd 8 2/23/18 12:01 PM CRICKET CONCERT HALL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 94 CATERPILLAR DINER . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 96 The Incredible (Inedible) Egg . . . . . . . . . . 98 Pickle Factory . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 100 The Yeast You Could Do . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 103 107 Walking Watercolors . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 108 Tower of Liquids . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 110 Balloon Vacuum . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 112 Light Bender . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 114 Heron’s Fountain . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 116 Physics Tricks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 119 UNSPILLABLE JAR . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 120 BALANCING ACT . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 122 UNWETTABLE PAPER TOWEL . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 124 Glossary . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 126 Metric Conversion Chart . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 128 Barometric Pressure Chart . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 129 Index . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 131 622986.MasonJarScience_FinalPgs.indd 9 2/23/18 12:01 PM
