Our second 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 in their journals. 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 milk would bubble, the plate would start smoking, and the colors would make a rainbow. Here is what did happen:
The students were amazed. They had lots to record in their science journals. If you are interested in the science behind this experiment click here. This experiment is again from Steve Spangler Science, a great website resource for these super scientists! I also know his experiment packages make great gifts! Check it out!
