Our third science lab this week was an actual experiment. In this experiment, the scientists had to follow step by step directions, make predictions, and record their findings. However, the best part of this experiment is it had the children EXCITED about science! Each scientist trio had a plate of milk with drops of food coloring, a Q-tip, and a small cup with dish soap. The students were to dip the Q-tip in the soap and then in the food coloring to see what would happen. Some of the predictions were the plate would explode, the milk would start smoking, and the colors would make a rainbow. Here is what did happen:
I love the "OOhhh"s and "Ahhhh"s and squeals of delight! After conducting the experiment a few more times, students drew what happened so we can put the results in our science notebooks. Look at these great journal entries!
