Ella and I had a blast this afternoon doing our own science experiment based on another Steve Spangler experiment!
The video that inspired ours is here.

Right now, Amazon is offering the eBook, “The Very First Easter” for FREE through the Amazon store.
STOP. I know what you’re thinking: “I don’t have a Kindle, so I this is a worthless blog post.” Well let me tell you that I don’t have a Kindle either and I’ve already downloaded this book on my phone AND my laptop!
The whole eBook craze is a bit overwhelming for sure, but if you’ll take a moment to realize how YOU can get in on the craze WITHOUT having to buy another $200 gadget, you might learn something.
Amazon offers a Kindle “app” for many platforms:
Kindle for PC
Kindle for iPhone or iPod
Kindle for Blackberry
Kindle for iPad
Kindle for Android
Once you “purchase” a book (this one is FREE, mind you) you can automatically send it to any device that you have installed the application on and the next time you open that application the book will download and you can begin reading!
How cool is that? And what are you waiting for? Most Kindle books are listed CHEAPER than the print-copies, so you might be more-inclined to buy the book as an eBook and save a few bucks and read it on your phone, iPad, laptop, or even desktop computer!
Now, more about the book…
In “The Very First Easter“, children will learn the story of Christ’s death and resurrection, and the reason we celebrate Easter. Featuring The Beginner’s Bible vibrant art this book will delight children as they learn what Jesus did for them.
The book weighs in at a lightweight 31-pages. If you choose to download it, let me know in the comments! And let me know if listing FREE (or greatly discounted) books like this is something you’d be interested in here on stevansheets.com!
Last night we loaded up the van and headed to downtown Chambersburg and the C&C Coffee Company on the courthouse square where there was quite a lineup of musicians slated to play outside on a beautiful evening.
We got to hear the Ryan Payne Band for our first time and were very impressed. Next up was my buddy Scott Troyer who happens to be on tour currently with another band, Attaboy. Scott had a short set, but I was thankful that he managed to include my favorite, “If Ever in Doubt”. I captured Scott and that song from the show last night:
Scott’s EP which features a recording of this track is available here for less-than $5!
We also enjoyed the sound of Attaboy – a band that we hadn’t heard until last night. They’re from Huntington, IN and from what Scott tells me, they’re a quality group of guys. Ezra really got into their set before we had to leave and I’m thinking they have a new ‘biggest fan’ as you can see from this video:
Thanks to C&C Coffee Company for putting together a great FREE show for families like ours to come and enjoy! The strawberry lemonade smoothie I shared with my daughter was great, too!
My new favorite version of Rebecca Black’s “Friday”:
Her stuffed bunny as a microphone? Genius.
I’ve loved watching Steve Spangler Science videos on YouTube for quite some time. Also, his website has lots of things I’d love to own.
Tonight we finally put one of his experiments to the test ourselves!
We had a blast!
