How to Make a Rubber Band Gun

Back in the days when kids made a lot of their toys, some devious little mind came up with a way to fire rubber bands off more than their own thumbs. Thus was born the rubber band gun. Today, they're enjoying such a resurgence of popularity, that you can even buy guns carved from wood, that replicate actual weapons such as repeating rifles, pistols and more.

But for a simply weapon to give your friends a snapping good time, try this. Gather up a piece of wood, such as a short section of 1x2" lumber, a wooden clothespin, some Crazy Glue, a nail and a hammer.

You're going to want to glue the clothespin at the rear of the 1" side, which should be on top. But first, take a nail no more than 2" long, and 1/8" thick, and cut the flat head off, and file it down. Mark on the piece of wood, where the end of the clothespin will be, and drive the nail into the wood, sharp end down, about 1/3" from where the mark is. Leave about 3/4" of the nail sticking up.

Now drill a hole through the end of the clothespin, with a bit that is slightly larger than the width of the nail. Make sure you drill through both sides of the pin. Apply glue to one narrow side of the clothespin, from the open end, down to the drilled hole. Don't get glue in the hole. Now place the clothespin on the piece of 1x2", making sure it's got the nail fitted through the hole. You might want to try the fit, before applying the glue.

Cut a notch in the end of your wood, just below the top, so you can hook one end of the rubber band there. Now pull it back, and hook the other end over the protruding nail. To fire, just open the clothespin. There should be enough motion to allow the upper part of the pin, to push the rubber band off.

For more zing to your gun, cut a second shorter piece of wood and glue it underneath at a 90-degree angle, to approximate the shape of a pistol. Insert your nail and glue your clothespin to the back of the "grip". This will make for a longer stretch to the band, and more snap when you fire.

Quick and Easy Homeschool Science Aeronautics Experiments

Every flying thing, whether it's an airplane, spacecraft, soccer ball, or flying kid, experiences four aerodynamic primary forces: lift, weight, thrust and drag.

An airplane uses a propeller or jet engine to generate thrust. The wings to create lift. The smooth, pencil-thin shape minimizes drag. And the molecules that make up the airplane attributes to the weight.

Let's find out what are all the parts of an airplane for. You'll need to get a cheap balsa wood airplane for this next part - check out your local drug store or toy store. I've even found them in grocery stores for about $2.

Take the balsa wood airplane and try to fly just the body (no wings or fins). It flips all over the place. Try flying just the large wing (no body). Somersaults!

Now slide the large wing into the body and fly (fewer somersaults, but still sickening to fly in!).

Now add a horizontal stabilizer (elevator) tail, and when you throw it, add a slight curve so the plane "fishtails" in the air (like a car)... but did you notice that there are no more somersaults?
Add the vertical tail (rudder) and see how it now steers straight no matter how to curve-throw it.

Sneaky Tip: if you remove the metal clip on the nose beforehand, you can add it last to really see what it's for... notice where most of the weight is without the clip?

Let's make more things that demonstrate these flying ideas!

Helicopters: Cut out a paper rectangle 5 by 2 inches. Cut lengthwise down the strip, stopping about an inch before the end. Tape this uncut inch to the end tip of a popsicle stick. Fold the "bunny-ear" flaps down in opposite directions. Throw off a balcony and watch it whirl and gyrate! (Optional: You can notch the end of the popsicle stick to make a sling-shot helicopter. Make a quick slingshot launcher by looping a rubber band to another popsicle stick end.)

Butterfly Cups: Tape two Dixie paper cups together, bottom-to-bottom. Chain together six rubber bands. Loop one end of the rubber band chain over your thumb and hold your arm out horizontally straight, palm up. Drape the remainder of the chain along your arm. Place the taped butterfly cups at the free end (near your shoulder) and slowly wind the rubber bands around the middle section of the cups. When you wind near the end, stop, stretch the chain back toward your elbow, make sure the rubber band comes from the underside of the cups and release. The cups should rotate quickly and take air, then gracefully descend down for a light landing. Try making one with four cups.

Hot Air Balloons: Shake out a garbage bag to its maximum capacity. Tape (use duct or masking tape) the open end almost-closed... you still want a small hole the size of the hair dryer nozzle.
Use the hair dryer to inflate the bag and heat the air inside (make sure you don't melt the bag).
When the air is at its warmest, release your hold on the bag while you switch off the hair dryer. It should float up to the ceiling and stay there for a while. This experiment works best on cold mornings. The greater the temperature difference between the bag's air and the surrounding air, the longer it will float.

Parachutes: Attach a piece of floss or thin string to the four corners of a tissue. Attach a stick, a small wad of stones wrapped in another tissue, a pinecone, etc. to the centers of the string. Practice dropping these from the balcony and see which falls slowest with which load.

Ring Thing: Cut an index card into thirds lengthwise. Loop one strip into a circle and tape ends together. Place two remaining strips together end-to-end and tape, then loop into large circle and tape in place. Place a piece of tape across one end of a straw and gently secure one ring to the tape. Repeat on the other end with remaining ring. Make sure the two rings are concentric (you can see through both like a telescope). Throw it small-end-first!

Free Form Machines: Make an obstacle course with some or all the following different challenges:

-Hit a target balloon (arm the machines with opened paper clips)

-Go over and under a suspended length of string

-Make it through a hula hoop suspended vertically or horizontally

-Carry a jelly bean passenger safely across shark-infested waters (two tables spread apart)

-Dangle large paper airplanes (made from 11x17" paper, or two 8.5x11" papers taped together to make an 11x17") from the ceiling for a 'dogfight' to earn points if you tag one

-Shoot through the basketball hoop, and dive into a basket.

Maternity Dress for Office Wear

For the first trimester of your pregnancy you will be able to make do with your regular office wear. Looking for a maternity dress yet does not come into play. If you do feel a bit of tightening, then you can leave the top button of you skirt or pant undone and cover it up by leaving your top untucked. Another thing you can do is loop a rubber band through the button hole and use this to hold your button in place. It will give you a feel needed inches.

The next stage of pregnancy is when you are not truly showing, but you know that you have put on weight and your clothes no longer fit you. Invest in belly bands that hold pants or skirts up even if unzipped. A good maternity dress at this time would be anything that is made of a slightly stretchy material - yoga pants in thick materials, low rise pants that sit below your navel and skirts or pants that come with tummy bands.

Your maternity dress can also be souped up with sweaters, cardigans, tunice, your husband's shirts and leggings. Each of these make for a great maternity dress when you are in the transitional period and are yet to have shared the news with your colleagues. Choose from fabrics that are non-binding like jersey material and clothes made of cotton, some knits and some viscose. Any material that stretches is good. These clothes also double up during the time you take to lose all the baby weight that you have accumulated.

If your work environment demands formal wear, then have a few key pieces in shades that are complimentary will help you have a good maternity dress to wear to office each day. Invest in a pant, skirt, tunic, shirt and a top. Each of these can be mixed and matched to create the kind of maternity dress you would be comfortable in the entire day. With the right kind of accessories, you will have a different look each day.

Add to these a few non-maternity dress items and you will be able to get a few more outfit combinations from them. These could be sweaters or even baggy tops. Of course, before you get into any of these, first knock the doors of friends and relatives who may have a maternity dress or two to give you. You will save significantly by doing this.

Workout For Skinny Guys - Stretch Properly For Bigger Gains

Tons of people make the mistake of neither stretching nor warming up before their workouts. Then what happens is, they don't get much out of their workouts. In a workout for skinny guys, stretching is absolutely vital. One, because the underweight guy needs all the range of motion he can get to make sure he hits every part of the muscle possible. Two, if he injures himself, it can cause a big setback on his quest to get in shape.

So Why Is Stretching So Important?

What stretching does is prepares your muscles for the strenuous activity they are about to undergo. It gets blood flowing through your muscles and increases their elasticity for a short period of time. This will not only help you in the short term, but will also help in the long term by allowing you to become more flexible. The more you can move your muscles, the stronger you can ultimately be.

See, stretching allows you a greater range of motion throughout your workout. What this larger range of motion does is, it lets you use more of the muscle than if you were not stretching, therefore you can break down more muscle fibers, and ultimately achieve more gains.

Obviously you'll also want to stretch so you do not injure yourself. If you work out with cold muscles, they are going to be tight, which can cause them to not give you the proper support you need with your workout. This can lead to some very bad injuries that can set you back quite a bit. Always always always stretch before working out.

Now That You've Stretched, You Need To Warm Up

Before you hit the weights hard, grab a weight about half of what you would normally lift and pump out about 10 reps or so. Now do a set of pushups until you feel your muscles being challenged. Now do a few body weight lunges or squats. These warm up routines will get blood flowing through the muscles and will prime them to lift. You'll notice you can lift more once you are properly warmed up.

Proper Stretching

A big mistake I see people making is trying to pump when they stretch. What I mean by this is that they will stretch as far as they can, then back out quickly without holding and try to go further by pumping. This can actually pull the muscle awkwardly and lead to injury. Do not pump when you stretch.

Stretching too far won't get you anywhere either. Just get to a point where you feel mild discomfort, then hold for 10 seconds. After that 10 seconds. relax for a few seconds, and do another of the same for 10 more seconds. You'll notice your muscles become a lot more elastic this way.

Think of your muscles as a rubber band. What is the best way to stretch it? What happens when you pull on a rubber band really quickly and really hard? It snaps! But what happens when you pull on it slowly to the point where you feel tension and you can put it around something? It expands to where you need it, then contracts. This is the same way your muscles work.

The whole warm up stretching process should only take you about 5 minutes. Follow these warm up rules and you'll notice you can lift more and you'll dramatically reduce your risk of injury.
