Apr. 24, 2008 - A recent experiment - so fun!
We did a fun one out of the Usborne Big Book of Science Things to Make and Do
(By the way, leaving books out to attract the girls is working - I need to buy some items, but Jewel
was very intrigued with this book and also made the Squirty Whale - I just need to buy a balloon to make that work!)
Here is the recipe that we loved.
Fill a glass jar half full of vinegar. Add several drops of food dye, glitter and a generous squirt of dish soap. Put jar on a cookie sheet. Add a teaspoon or two (or three) of baking soda to see the chemical reaction. Very cool. They loved it.
I will be buying more vinegar today. smile (The book has the explanation of what happened.)
You should buy the book or check it out from the library!
