3. Balloon Blowing – they will blow up a balloon without using their own breath - with baking soda and vinegar – discuss how that works
4. Butterfly of Many Colors – ink in black felt tip pen is made from chemicals of different colors, mixed together these colors look black, discuss how you can see the different colors
Junior Badge = Science Discovery (pg. 200)

2. Light and Reflection – make a simple kaleidoscope – which relies on reflected light to create its special effects
