Step Through a Christmas Card
Tell your friends and family that you can step through a Christmas card! It seems impossible, but you can show them how. All you need is an old/unused Christmas card and a pair of scissors.
Our simple video shows them how and other videos/written instructions for this activity can be found here too:
Written instructions Sublime Science

Instructions and Video from Steve Spangler Sick Science

Just in case you run out of things to do over the festive break, we asked some of our team to come up with 12 simple science inspired ideas to keep you entertained for the 12 days of Christmas.
The idea is - every activity should be something you could try at home, and so in keeping with the spirit of DIY they filmed their own demos on their own mobile phones and cameras - so -although Spielberg needn't worry about his job just yet - we hope you'll agree they came up with some fun ideas with a few laughs to take us into the new year! Look out for the vids on Facebook and Twitter from Christmas Day.
