Simple science makes jack-o’-lanterns spooky
By Sara Thompson
Special to the Enterprise
Carving Jack-O-Lanterns is a favorite pastime for Halloween. There are countless faces that can be carved, ranging from scary to silly, anything you can imagine. It is common to place a small candle inside to make the faces glow after dark, but there is also something you can do during the day to make your jack-o-lanterns spooky with some simple science.
Supplies:
• Carved jack-o-lantern
• Two small cups
• Hydrogen peroxide
• Liquid dish soap
• Warm Water
• Yeast
• Food dye (optional)
Experiment:
In a small cup or beaker, add ½ Cup of hydrogen peroxide. Use gloves and/or have an adult to help as hydrogen peroxide can irritate your skin. In the same cup mix 1 Tablespoon of liquid dish soap, and food dye if you want it colorful, around 4-6 drops should be enough. Gently place this cup inside of your jack-o-lantern.
In a second cup, mix 1 Tablespoon of yeast with 3 Tablespoons of warm water. Stir and let rest for around 30 seconds. The last step is to quickly pour the water and yeast into the cup with the peroxide, soap, and food dye, place the lid or top of the jack-o-lantern on and watch what happens!
The two solutions react to make a fun, foamy mess. If the top of the jack-o-lantern is in place, the foam will have no other option than to escape through the carved face giving it an oozing and fun look.
This is only one of several foam experiments you can use to make your Halloween festive with science. Explorit is open to the public on Fridays from 1-4pm, Saturdays and Sundays from 10am-2pm. Admission is $5 per person. Explorit Members, ASTC, and those age 2 and under free.

BIM can connect information from different disciplines, creating opportunities to consider sustainability as part of wider project coordination. Exploring construction management operations highlights how digital models can support decisions about materials, energy performance, resource use, and construction processes.
