We did some neat experiments recently with the kids that was so fun!
Taking normal household objects and a big bucket of water we learned about density and volume by seeing what items will float and what will sink.
The kids took turns putting items in the bucket and guessing what would float or sink.
Some of the items surprised the kids! A big apple would float but a small coin would sink! They learned that it's not all about size!
We also took some fun with Magic Milk! This one really got the kids excited and some of the moms too!
For anyone that had not seen the Magic Milk experiment it was so fun to watch the explosion of colours that could be created with just a touch of a cotton swap dipped in the "magic potion"
First we filled a low dish with a bit of milk. Then we put drops of food colouring in the milk randomly.
In a separate bowl there was water mixed with some regular old dish soap. The kids dipped their cotton swab in the "magic potion" (the dish soap mixture) and then touched the tip to the colours in the milk.
The colours magically exploded creating beautiful patterns of colour!
