Being Scientists!

Last week we talked all about being a Scientist. We discussed how Scientists observe, record data, make predictions, and of course DO EXPERIMENTS! We also discussed how Scientists use special tools to protect themselves for experiments such as science goggles. The kids were so excited to get into our first science experiment and use real science tools! Here is how our first experiment went...

If You Take a Mouse to School Science Experiment:
In the book If You Take a Mouse to School, mouse gets himself into a mess during science when a purple substance overflows. We found out what happens when you start with vinegar, add red food coloring, blue food coloring, and then add baking soda to the mixture. We found that it overflows with purple bubbles much like Mouse's science experiment in the book!









 





They absolutely loved it! Follow the directions in the above paragraph if you would like to try it out at home also. Have a great weekend!
