Science Projects with Glue Dots

We love science and Designer Dawn is back on our blog with two great uses for Glue Dots for science projects this school year!

When it comes to science projects, your young scientist will need to create labels for their display or experiment in order to educate others about the project.

Geode Egg Flags

Here's what you need:

• Permanent Glue Dots®
• Colored cardstock
• Project words typed and printed
• Lollipop sticks
• Scissors

Here's what you do:

1. Type and print out the words that will be used to describe the experiment.  You will need two sets of each word, one for the front and one for the back.
2. Cut out the words and group the same words together to create pairs.
3. Cut the colored cardstock into larger sizes of the same shape as the words to create a colorful border around the word.
4. Use Permanent Glue Dots to adhere one word to one side of the corresponding colored cardstock.
5. Then, place three permanent Glue Dots (or however many will fit) on the back of the colored cardstock.
6. Press  the the lollipop stick into the Permanent Glue Dot in the center.
7. Adhere the second word across the top, pressing it onto the other Permanent Glue Dots on either side of the stick.
8. Place your newly created flags into your labels and you're done!

3D Atom Display

Here's what you need:

• Permanent Glue Dots®
• Styrofoam ball
• Pompoms
• Wooden skewer
• Pipe cleaners
• Paperclay
• Paint
• Atom parts printed on paper or cardstock

Here's what you do:

1. Use paperclay to form the base of the display and stick the wooden skewer into the base as it drys. Note: The thicker the paperclay, the longer it will take to dry.
2. Paint the Styrofoam ball and let dry. Note: You could stick the skewer through the ball before painting, just be careful not to splatter paint on the base.
3. Once the Styrofoam ball has been painted and is dry, stick the skewer through the center and position it in the middle of the skewer.
4. Twist the pipe cleaners around the skewer at the top and bottom of the Styrofoam ball (the nucleus) to create the axis for the electron.
5. Use Permanent Glue Dots to adhere the pompom around the pipe cleaner.
6. Cut out the words for each part of the atom and adhere them in the appropriate place on the display with Permanent Glue Dots.

Have a great school year!
