Fun Science for Rainy Days
I’m loving How to Fossilise Your Hamster by Mick O’Hare. It’s a series of hilarious experiments you can do with your children when it’s pouring outside – and they all prove some scientific principle.
Take this as an excellent example:
Question: is it true that you can measure the speed of light using nothing more than a chocolate bar and a microwave oven?
All you will need is:
- a bar of chocolate
- a metric ruler
- a microwave oven
Tell me, how could you NOT want to try this out?!
O’Hare has had the brilliant idea of dividing up his experiments into rooms. ‘In the Kitchen’. ‘In the Living Room’. ‘In the Bathroom’. Wherever you are, there are experiments to be done.
