The piddling BLAST directions were visual too clearly written. I could skim through the intro too directions too and then concur the cards for each action spell nosotros got started every bit my "cheat sheet" when the kids asked me questions.
The BLAST kit came amongst a piddling game board called an "Adventure Map" to aid my kids movement through all of the activities too uncovering a especial treasure in i trial they were done.
I thought it was an adorable thought for a piddling schedule, but the Lubricant BLAST was thus exciting to my kids that they didn't desire to live bothered amongst anything EXCEPT the scientific discipline experiments.
Our favorite action inwards the Lubricants BLAST was the i that taught the kids well-nigh touchstone viscosity. I learned a lot too!
Before nosotros got started I needed to hold off upward the Definition of viscosity thus that I could explicate it to my kids easily. Basically it relates to the thickness of a liquid.
Each action inwards the BLAST kit came amongst all of the materials that nosotros would demand to consummate our assignment.
For the Measuring Viscosity action nosotros got...

Our task for the Measuring Viscosity activity was to drib iii marbles into iii dissimilar essay tubes filled amongst iii dissimilar materials too encounter which liquid had a higher viscosity (ie. which i was thicker).
One essay underground came pre-filled amongst corn syrup too i came pre-filled amongst dish soap. We filled a tertiary i amongst water.
As nosotros dropped each marble nosotros noted how long it took to acquire to the bottom on the liquid. The fastest i had the lowest viscosity, the thickest i had the highest viscosity.
We did this marble viscosity action to a greater extent than than a dozen times amongst my kids (ages 6, 3, too 1). Even my 17-month-old wanted a plough to drib the marbles into the dissimilar liquids. The kids actually enjoyed hypothesizing well-nigh which liquid would live thicker too which would live thinner too permit the marble move faster.
One of my favorite things well-nigh the activities were the information cards included at the halt that explained the experiment inwards simple price too the results you lot should bring experienced.
