Experiment: Passing a skewer through an inflated balloon
Erin S. and Sarah K. LOVE our new book, Super Science Lab from DK Publishing ($8.99 at Pufferbellies). They’ve been trying out lots of experiments from the book, including making ice cream in a bag (video to come) and passing a skewer through an inflated balloon without popping the balloon. What’s that you say? Impossible? NO! Evidence here:
Super Science Lab is chock-full of fun, interesting experiments that you can do with objects found around your house (or purchased very inexpensively). We highly recommend it.

Geodes: break your own!
We got our first-ever shipment of little break-your-own geodes in stock today. We got really excited and couldn’t wait, so we took a few outside to try.
Here’s the video of what happened:
And here are two glamorous photos of our geode, after I cleaned it up a little with a toothbrush and some water. Isn’t it neat?
