Science Experiments

We started getting back on our regular routine after the holidays last week and we decided to kick off our day with science. It really motivated the kids and got them excited about getting back to school!














We had received this kit as a gift for my daughter's birthday and have used it several times to make the colored crystals. This kit comes with a book that gives all sorts of different experiments. The one we tried the first morning was with milk, colored tablets, and soap. We first poured enough milk into a plate to just cover it without it spilling over. Then we added colored tablets in different sections of the plate and allowed it to dissolve. The longer it dissolves the better the experiment works.






























After we watched it dissolve (as long as we possibly could), we took a toothpick and put liquid soap all over the tip and dipped it in the center of the plate.















The colors start dancing and blending together rapidly making a pretty cool experiment to watch. The kids enjoyed it and it started our day off great!
