Science Is Fun : Fool Your Tongue!
Our sense of smell is so tied up with our sense of taste that 70-75%
of what we taste actually comes from our sense of smell! Have you
ever had a cold, and food just tasted bland or boring?This was
because you couldn’t smell it as well as taste it as it went into your
mouth.In this fun activity we are going to show how strongly our
sense of smell controls what we taste.
What You Need:Apple,Vanilla extract,Cotton ball
What You Do:
1. Have your child take a bite of apple and pay close attention to how it tastes. Is it tart as tangy? Does it taste like an apple? Of course it does!
2. Now add several drops of vanilla extract to the cotton ball.
3. Hold the cotton ball near, but not touching, your child's nose as you take a second bit of the apple. Continue to smell the cotton ball while you chew.
What Happened?
The first bite tasted like an apple should taste. The second seemed to taste like vanilla. Why?
The nerve endings in the tongue only identify sweet, sour, salty and bitter - other sensations are due to smell. When the vanilla was stronger than the apple smell the apple "tasted" like vanilla.
Color I Spy
Be inside home and enjoy game with your friends and family
indulge in a colorful game of I Spy while you're at it!
Kids love this classic game, and this colour-themed version is
just as fun but twice as educational. If your preschooler
needs help with colour recognition, this is just the game
for your kid.
What You Need:Cards,Scissors,Markers in a rainbow of colours
What You Do:
1. Begin by talking about colour with your child, using the markers as a guide. Take each marker out of the package one at a time and ask her to name the colours as you go along.
2. Cut the cards into 5" x 7" rectangles.
3. Have your child draw a picture of a flower, plant, or other spring thing on the front of each card, using only one colour for each card.
4. Now turn each card over and write the name of the colour you used on that card on the back using the same colour marker. For some handwriting practice, try writing the words lightly in pencil first, then having her trace over the letters in marker.
5. Now it's time to play! Take the cards outside. Choose one card and ask your child to name the colour, then turn the card over to reveal the colour word.
6. Now look around outside and find something natural (like a tree or flower) that's the same colour as the card.
7. Once you've found something, turn to your child and say, “I spy something with my eye that is the colour_____”. Encourage her to try and find the object you chose. Give her descriptive word clues to help point her in the right direction. If she guesses another
object that is the right colour, let her know that her pick is also correct.
8. Continue playing by repeating steps 5-7 for the rest of the color cards. Once she finds all the colours, she wins!
During the course of the game, invite your child to select unique adjectives to describe each colour. Encourage her to get creative with her word choices and use her imagination!

Science Is Fun (Learn Where Wind Comes From?)
Does your child always demand to know- Why the sky is blue? How the sun moves across the sky? or Where wind comes from?
Then this experiment is for you! Demonstrate how wind is created with an entertaining activity, and introduce your child to the wild ways that weather works.
What You Need:- Adult helper
- Paper and pencil
- Scissors
- Thumb-pin
- Thread
- Clothes hanger
- Heat source
1. On a piece of paper, have your child draw a spiral shape, then cut it out.
2. Have the adult poke a small hole in the center of the spiral with the thumbtack.
3. Push one end of the thread through the hole in the spiral. Tie it. Then attach the other end to a middle of a clothes hanger.
4. Hold or hand the hanger with the spiral several inches above a radiator, a lit table lamb, or even a metal pan heated by the sun. (Don't put the spiral too close to the heat, and take it down when you are finished. Never leave it hanging near heat when you are not there to watch it.)
What Happened?
The spiral moved! As the warm air moved upward, it pushed against the underside of the spiral, and made it spin. It's this upward movement of air that causes winds. As warm air rises, the air pressure under it gets lower and cooler air nearby moves in to take its place. This sideways moving air is wind,and it usually brings a change in the weather.
"Live Healthy Stay Healthy" ill-health, of body or of mind, is defeat. Health alone is victory.
Our body is like a machine which functions smoothly only
if we look after it. The simplest way to ward off common infections and
diseases such as colds, diarrhea and jaundice is to keep one’s hands
clean( which are the super highways for transmitting germs) and avoid
contaminated food and drink. We can keep ourselves fit and healthy by
following some simple rules and habits in our daily living.
