The Conscious Classroom

Simple, sustainable STEM projects that reduce waste, spark curiosity, and inspire young minds.

Hey Thoughtfully Sustainable friends!

Let’s be real—eggs are still egg-streme-ly expensive, which makes it the perfect time to squeeze every bit of value (and fun!) out of them.

This year, turn your egg dyeing into something extra special with a simple science experiment that kids will love. My latest blog post shows you how to create fizzy, colorful eggs using just a few kitchen staples—and sneak in a chemistry lesson while you’re at it.

It’s a hands-on, creative, and educational twist on a springtime favorite. Great for classrooms, at-home fun, or anywhere curious minds are ready to explore.

Give it a try - I’d love to see your fizzy egg creations! Share them and tag me! #ThoughtfullySustainable

The Conscious Classroom Simple, sustainable STEM projects that reduce waste, spark curiosity, and inspire young minds. Hi friends, As we head into gift-giving season, I’ve been thinking about the toys our kids actually return to over and over again. So many toys end up in the “play once and forget” category, but creativity-driven tools with long-term use are worth the upfront investment.
