Forensic Friday #8 – Density Matters
Great opportunity for a lesson in density. Not only will the spawnlings understand a basic scientific concept, but it will help them understanding other minions in the world – like politicians.
Forensic Friday #7 – Archaeology
Life skills. It’s all about the life skills. And with spawnlings, it’s all about how you SELL those life skills. Today, let’s focus on cleaning. *that choking, warbling sound you may hear in the background is EG Dad as he cracks up laughing, then stumbles across the EG Lair, stepping […]
Review: LEGO Research Institute #21110
It’s frackin’ awesome! </end> I know, it’s 3 mini-figs in a cool scene, but there are some amazing bits and I love the ingenuity of the dinosaur skeleton. But the part that really made it for me – the instruction manual. Let’s start at the beginning: We received […]
I have the Power!! DIY Solar Eclipse Viewer
In years gone by (a looooong time ago, minions), people believed that evil things happened during eclipses. The Vikings believed their Sky Wolves were chasing the Sun and the Moon, sometimes even catching them. The delicious snack was an eclipse. Apparently. In Vietnam, it’s a very hungry frog out for […]
Forensic Friday #6 – All I have is static
There is nothing funnier than sneaking up on your sibling, all charged with static electricity – and letting rip with a ZAP! Well, maybe one thing – watching on as an EG Parent while the spawnlings learn this! Here’s the basics of Sinister’s Balloon Static Electricity Experiment: Materials: Balloons Wall […]
Evil Genius Parent Award #29 – Happy Mother’s Day
I swear, this new spawnling hates me. This is the roughest pregnancy I have had yet. Most of my favourite foods are off limits or suddenly taste disgusting; my sleep pattern is disturbed AFTER Nefarious finally learns to sleep through the night continuously; and the mood swings are bringing on […]
Forensic Friday #3 – Weatherman
It’s a dangerous day in Evil Genius Lair – a restless, rainy day. LEGO dominates our lounge-room. But even today there is a certain passive approach to it. The Tank’s turret is short; the ninja’s armoury looks neat and tidy; the obstacle course for LEGO men has… flowers?!? Desperate times […]
Forensic Friday #2 – Slime
“I’ve been slimed!!” Today’s Forensic Friday experiment is brought to you by the letter S – for SLIME. Ooey, gooey, slime. Of course Sinister and Nefarious want to make their own slime. And it is a good lesson in chemical reactions (as is any cooking in the house)… My concern […]
One Poison Dart Frog at a Time
This is the point where I cannot believe in the nonsense of Intelligent Design. Seriously – what super-natural drugs are out there for some all-high deity to think HOT PINK with blue legs is a great colour for a frog?!? Now don’t get me wrong. I understand that not ALL […]
Forensic Friday #1 – Snappy Ruler
Fridays are now “Forensic Fridays” – or “How to Avoid Forensics through your Knowledge of Science – Fridays”. Batman would be proud. Big thanks to EG Opa for buying Sinister the “365 Science Experiments Book” … and a contribution towards the Home and Contents Insurance. We’re starting off small. Don’t […]
