| Question | Answer |
| Nebula Craft at home with your child | Once your child has made a nebula ask them: Is this a Dark Nebula, Emission Nebula, Planetary Nebula, Reflection Nebula, or Supernova (Remnant) . Have them give you details why. |
| Ingredients: A bottle/jar with a lid (check dollar tree) A few cotton balls Some food coloring, blue is best, but any colors you want. Nebulae come in a lot of different colors Those are the minimum basics but you can add some more stuff for fun: Glitter of any color Small beads Small jewels | |
| Step 1: Put some water in your container. Fill it about half way. | |
| Then add a drop of blue food coloring. Or you can choose another color. But blue is a good place to start. Do NOT stir | |
| Tear up a couple of cotton balls and put them in the container. | |
| Add some more water. You can fill it almost all the way up if you want. If not and you want to try more colors, follow next 2 steps after putting in more water, then double back to this step. | |
| Next add another drop or two of the food coloring. Use the blue again or maybe some red. But don't stir the bottle now. | |
| Let this new drop of food coloring settle on its own. It will create a wonderful nebula look. | |
| Now add some of the details like glitter. And then add some more torn up cotton! The glitter will tend to float. | |
| But if you add cotton after wards then you can use that to push the glitter down. | |
| Then have some fun adding other details if you like. Beads, jewels, gems or how about a tiny figure? The sky is the limit :) | |
| Don't forget to have your child explain why it is the nebula they say it is. What star or lack of stars is at its center? What happened to create it! | |
