Lava explosion in a jar while exploring liquid density
Posted on April 1, 2017 1 Comment
Did you like our experiment called fireworks in a jar? Then you might like this one. I have actually decided to do this experiment to complement our experiment on water density which was also a hit with Teddy. We talked about the different density in water compared to an oil which is lighter and […]
Learning more about the whales

We just love the whales!! They are truly magnificent animals, the way they move in the water with such an ease and grace and the force they break the surface when they breech.

If you have kids you have probably heard about a cartoon movie called Finding Nemo, about a little clown fish crossing the ocean to find his son Nemo travelling on the fast East Australian current with a bunch of sea turtles.

What hides beneath…layers of the ocean

Teddy has always been fascinated by the ocean and its creatures. I am not sure if it was because we live close to the sea and have been going to the beach since he was a little baby and instead of visiting a zoo we have been taking him to a local sea centre or […]
Science is fun – water density experiment

Science is just brilliant! Don’t you think? If you had known me as a child you would have never guessed these words would come out of my mouth. I never used to think that science was great at all. Well to be honest I think I couldn’t stand it but I was never shown anything […]

The spring is most certainly coming and it has been pulling us to spend more and more time outdoors! Not that we don’t like spending time outside when its cold, Teddy really does not care if its windy, rainy or freezing, he wants to be out and there is always something to do and if […]
‘Mammy I really need a volcano’ – exploding volcano
Posted on March 30, 2017 Leave a Comment
It was only a couple of minutes long footage of a volcano erupting and he was hooked. All the documentaries about cute animals we watched were forgotten and the only thing that he wanted to talk about was that hot lava spewing into the ocean. So we had to build a volcano… I think the […]
