Welcome back! Today in this post I will be going to talk about a new Stemist kit about matter. You can see a unboxing video down below.

Tell me what you think of the video in the comments down below.

Also Please One up my Post. ;-)

The first experiment in the book is called Ice Melt and Overflow. If you want to do this Experiment at home, you'll need...

- Clear Plastic Cup
- Ice Cube
- Warm Water
- Timer or Clock

1. Fill the Plastic Cup with Warm Water all the way to the top. (DO NOT OVERFILL!)















2. Slowly place an Ice Cube in the Warm Water.















3. Set a timer for 15 Minutes or get a Clock
 which has 15 Minute marks.















4. Watch the ice slowly melt and the water rise.

Here are some questions that you can answer if you want...

1. What is in the cup?
2. What is the ice made of?
3. How is ice made?
4. Did the water overflow and spill over the edge of the cup?
5. Is liquid denser than ice?

More bird stuff

Hi there! Me again , in this post I  will be talking about the Porch Swing Feeder. It's  kind of like a porch swing except it's for birds. I'm also going to talk about a thing that wasn't mentioned in any of the posts, the Handmade Bird Bath.



It's made out of wooden popsicle sticks glued together with school glue that came in the kit. I'm in the middle of making it.



The bird bath is easy to make, you'll need...

- Clear Bowl
- Rock
- Ruler ( In Centimeters)






         1. Put the rock in the
           center of the bowl.
    






2. Measure 3 cm. of water in the bowl.









3. Carefully place the bird bath on your front/back porch
away from bushes where animals could hide.

4. Enjoy watching the birds come to the bird bath.

Hey everybody, I'm back! In this post I am going to be talking about this bird feeder called the 3D Tree Feeder. Also there's a feeder I'm making called the Porch Swing Feeder.

Basically, the 3D tree feeder is a cardboard tree made from the "Groovy box" cut to make a tree shape, then there's a bird food recipe you can try.

You'll need...
- Sunflower seed spread (YUM!)
- Sunflower seeds (YUM!!)
- Raisins (YUM!!!)   
- Dried Mealworms (YUCK!!!!!!)
- Two small bowls
- Spoon

1. Get 5 dried mealworms into one of the small bowls, crush them with the spoon.















2. Knead the sunflower seed spread. IMPORTANT: The oil might get into a birds feathers, plugging the pores of eggs. So it's important to knead the spread! Put it in the other bowl.















3. Get 15 Sunflower seeds and 10 raisins. Mix them in with the spread and mealworms.




















4. Mix them all in until well blended.

5. Spread the Mixture on the feeder and watch the birds eat.

My Stop Motion Project

Welcome back! This time I'm going to be talking about stop motion.

We got a stop motion app on the Ipad so we can make little movies. The first movie we made was by Aidan, he did a little battle scene for his series "Hero's of Agaria."





My first movie was called "Mr. Snowman."
Basically, there were parts of a kit so you can make a snowman all scattered around the floor, and they started to come together to make a snowman, after that, the snowman starts waving hello at the end of the video.




Also, my brother Peter made a video called "Stop Motion Snack."




My next movie on stop motion will be made with clay. My movie will be called "Erupting Volcano."

My Contraption Kit

Hello Guys! I'm back again! This post is going to be about the Weird and Wacky Contraption Lab.

Basically, my aunt Nena gave me a contraption lab for my birthday. You can make a ton of contraptions with some tracks and pieces that can stick on a Velcro wall.

















Here is a picture of the pieces that come in the set.
