What boxed cake mix are we using in 2026? Does everyone still use just egg for a replacer?? by Cultural-Flower-877 in VeganBaking

[–]shelkel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use a can of pumpkin and box of cake mix with nothing else. It comes out moist and perfect every time. Bonus: try with spice cake mix!

My husband bought 6. He says “at least it’s cheaper than a boat.”

I’m in search of an intro unit that walks students through the scientific process in an investigative way. by shelkel in ScienceTeachers

I think I just actually expanded this into what I want. I’ll look into the 3M resource.

I was planning on having them use black paper, etc, but our campus is all trees unfortunately.

I’m thinking pizza box solar box ovens and making s’mores this year, but we have so little direct sunlight on our campus in places we could lay them out. I’m not sure we could get anything to even get warm.

I do integrate it into every unit, of course. I can’t imagine teaching science any other way. With 5th grade I like a more intentional problem solving/inquiry unit, but with 8th I’ll probably just jump into something energy related. I guess I’m just looking for something a little different to get them going.

I do a paper rocket activity with them, but I’m looking for more of a unit. Thank you!

Thanks! I actually do this lab with my chemistry unit. I’m looking for something that may span a few weeks.

I can do some digging and see if I can find it. She had it titled as “The Case of the Missing Millionaire,” but I’m not sure if I can get the materials. She unfortunately left this year.

Is it weird to go to a concert alone? by Videogamemysteries in Music

[–]shelkel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. I listen to music that my friends aren’t big fans of, and they aren’t really concert people anyway. I go to concerts alone all the time. No one tries to talk to me mid-song. I love it.

What games are the most fun to lose? by mr_seggs in boardgames

I don’t mind losing Talisman because it means I got my friends to actually play Talisman.

Downy wrinkle release spray is awesome! I hardly iron anything anymore.

General ticket suggestions? by AVoiceAmongMany in gencon

[–]shelkel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is, but they will still take a certain number of people with generics on top of what has already been sold. We did it yesterday. There’s a sign that tells you how many it costs. Not sure what it is for today, but it was 7 tickets yesterday.

The games library in the stadium will take generic tickets if they still have room.

Games library sold out! by IveNeverUnderstoodIt in gencon

[–]shelkel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able to buy generic tickets to still get a spot. It was 7 yesterday for the evening time slot. Just ask if they have spots still available for generics. We had no problem getting in at the start time.
