Getting your children to become interested in science is often a difficult task. With the use of kid friendly science lab equipment and some easy projects the kids will be begging to do more science oriented projects. And will soon be searching ideas of their own unique ways to implement science into fun.

Parents have difficulty with science sometimes as much as their children do. They have the idea that it takes rocket science degrees to become science oriented. The following projects are super easy and fun. They will get your kids not only having fun with science but eager to do more.

This first project is great for teaching things such as how stuff grows, the process involved and the end results with a lot of indiscreet learning in between. As you complete each step explain the process in kid friendly terms and encourage them to ask questions. Both projects are only four easy steps but packed with information.

For step one, purchase some inexpensive sponges. The sea sponges that are used for crafts and painting work great because you can give explanations about where they come from. Use a microscope to let them view what the sponge looks like dry and wet. If using cellos sponges the kids can cut shapes from the square sponge. Use this as an opportunity to learn geometry.

Step two teaches why water is needed for growing food and plants. Soak the sponge and place in a baggies that has been filled with seeds of your choice. Roll the sponge around in the bag until it is covered with seeds.

Step three: tie a piece of string around the sponge or if preferred feed string through a hole in the sponge. Hang the seed covered sponge in an area that will provide lots of sunlight. In a week or less there will sprouts forming on the sponge.

Step four will teach them how to care for the plant and the result of caring for them. When sprouts have begun, remove string and place in a clay pot that has been half filled with potting soil. Sprinkle soil over the sponge and put in a sunny area until fully grown.

Parents and kids of any age love to do this next project which is a lava lamp of sorts without the light. To start fill a jar with two cups of water and few drops of food coloring. Stir will and set aside. This will teach your children how to use measurement and mixing.

Step two is adding the oil. Measure a half of cup of vegetable and pour into the jar of colored water. Allow to sit for a few minutes so the oil will separate from the water.

In the third step kids learn about weight and gravity. Without shifting the jar pour a teaspoon of salt directly in the jar. When the salt lands on the oil it will form some clumps. The clumps will begin to sink due to the weight.

Step four encourages the learning of movement, gravity and separation. After the clumps reach the bottom the salt will start dissolve and cause the oil to float back to the top. Each time you want to sink the oil, just add salt.

Science is fun for parents and children. It encourages children to ask questions and look up the answers with their parents. The more gadgets kids have the more interest they have in using them. For gifts opt for microscopes and other science lab equipment to encourage learning science.

Where were Jewish oil lamps kept in observant Jewish homes circa 30CE?

Any idea where simple clay oil lamps were properly kept in observant (ideally non-prosperous) Jewish homes at the time of Jesus? Working on some verses…trying to get a fuller picture of where a lamp would be before it was lit and put on a lampstand.

Also, any idea where the lampstand would be in the same home?

Thanks.

This will be a two part answer: first I am fairly knowledgeable
about lamps in the Roman Province of Judea.

Discovering Natural Israel –
by Michal Strutin – 2001 – 341 pages
Though fighting centered in Judea, it spread throughout Galilee as well. … Niches chopped in the walls to hold oil lamps were crudely cut;

So we know from archeology this much.

I also recall but no sources that the lamps and more importantly the oil and wicks were stored in boxes,
and such, treasured items for a Jewish family.

The niche in the wall called the lamp-stand was for poorer Jews, the lamp in more wealth households would be on a pedestal for the rich: one of Gold.

A Basic Bible Dictionary
by Michael Counsell – 2004 -

Think I have given you all that exists.

Trouble with archeology is that we learn new details every year.
