Hi,

I am a member of a mailring. You can sign up at #####. It is called Middleschoolscience
It is great! Anyway, the following is from an email that I received, I am doing something on bats from the list link. I hope
you find something that might help you!

I've spent a little time tonight cruising the web for Halloween ideas.
Here's a list of what I've found so far ...

Ooey, Gooey Recipes - Make slime or other ooey stuff

and have the kids
come up
with scary or gross names!

Edible/Inedible Experiments - Pick a few of these cool ideas and give
them a
Halloween twist by making up a "spooky" story. You could also change
the name of the projects to reflect the holiday theme, such as "The
Cat's Meow" could be "The Black Cat's Meow".

Halloween from NASA- A cool site to explore if you have a computer lab
available.

Dry Ice Experiments - You can perform some cool demonstrations with dry
ice and
relate to Halloween! Be sure to follow proper safety rules!

A Halloween Story - An entertaining Halloween story with a variety of
chemistry
demos throughout. This would be a great project to coordinate with the
chemistry department at a local high school, college or university. Be
sure to follow proper safety rules!

Pumpkin Drop - Read this press release to give you some ideas for a
pumpkin drop.
It sounds like a version of the Naked Egg Drop available on my Science
Club page. The students would be challenged to create a container that
would keep the pumpkin from breaking when it lands.
