 <title>Steve Spangler:  AWESOME</title>
 <link>http://www.blogher.com/steve-spangler-awesome</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;      My latest internet obsession is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/who-is-steve-spangler.html?source=blog&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Steve Spangler&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;
the science guy who introduced that awesome Mentos/Diet Coke geyser&lt;br /&gt;
experiment to the world. I am also seriously addicted to internet&lt;br /&gt;
contests, due to my recent winnings,  and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stevespangler.com/archives/2008/04/29/pick-steves-bee-win-a-prize/&quot;&gt;over on Steve Spangler Science, there is a fun contest going on.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those&lt;br /&gt;
of you with children - get over there RIGHT NOW and click on every&lt;br /&gt;
single link. Sign up for the &amp;quot;Experiment of the Week&amp;quot; - it&#039;s FREE. Make&lt;br /&gt;
a comment and enter the contest!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am so all over the &amp;quot;free.&amp;quot;  All OVER it, I&#039;m telling you. I seriously dig free.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When&lt;br /&gt;
I was a little kid, I used to mix together all kinds of things in the&lt;br /&gt;
kitchen, just to see what would happen. I was particularly fond of&lt;br /&gt;
anything that had to do with baking powder and food coloring.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Steve Spangler has hundreds of experiments that &lt;strike&gt; you &lt;/strike&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
your kids can do in the kitchen or out in the back yard, and none of&lt;br /&gt;
them cost very much if anything at all. With ingredients in your&lt;br /&gt;
pantry, you and your kids can make the dry paragraphs in a science&lt;br /&gt;
textbook come alive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kids love to make messes, blow things up,&lt;br /&gt;
pop things across a room, stick their hands up to the elbows in goopy,&lt;br /&gt;
swirly glow-in-the-dark goo, and make loud noises. Here&#039;s your chance&lt;br /&gt;
to encourage just such conduct, only with educational objectives as&lt;br /&gt;
your goal.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ah, obsessions.  Steve Spangler, won&#039;t you be mine?  Sigh.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHWmqVyWYrE&amp;amp;eurl=&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Check him out.  He&#039;s incredible! &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
