Experiment








Noah loves to mix, concoct and create experiments of his own. Many of them take place as I am trying to hurry him out the door so as to be on time for school. Many of them use almost every ingredient in the kitchen. Some of the potions he actually makes me drink......yuk! Some of them are done in the shower with puddles of water left on the bathroom floor. There was the "stick the wash cloth to the shower wall and see if it is still there after school experiment"....and it was. So JOY for me was actually bringing Noah a couple of science experiments from school to try at home and try we did. We had an adventure after school doing the "Just How Dense" with water, oil, and maple syrup and then "Ice Balloons." Together we learned that maple syrup is more dense than water and oil and that three liquids will separate into three layers. We learned food coloring makes and ice ball pretty. Salt melted the ice and crystalized the food color red. Kind of messy, but I enJOYed discovering together with Noah.
