4. Spiral Bowling: Any body can knock down bowling pins on a straight bowling alley… we’re going to do it on a spiral alley!
5. Sneaky-Scope: Have you ever wondered where your parents hide things they don’t want you to have? Now you can find out!
6. Bullroarer: People have used these to send signals for nearly 20,000 years but the best part is that you get to do something weird and dangerous!?
7. Echo Blaster: Discover how to make echoes that can sound like whale calls, laser guns, and thunder.
8. Plaster of Paris: Discover how this powder is used to make molds and the next week we’ll make wax castings with it.
