Fizzy Science

 We added a twist to a simple baking soda and vinegar reaction this week when we used glue to create apple forms, covered them with baking soda, and then used eye droppers to drop colored vinegar on top.

 We used red, green, and yellow vinegar because those are the colors of apples of course.

 As you can tell, this activity was a huge hit.  There was color mixing, fizzing, and so much fun.

It was just a bit messy, but was mostly contained to the trays.   

What is life without a little mess anyway?

Have I mentioned how much fun these beauties are to have with me all day?

Oh that five and three could just last forever...

Growing Crystals

After our cave visit, we did a super easy science experiment.

 It couldn't be any easier to engage this kid.

Just look at her goofiness.

 She poured, explored, and mixed long after the experiment steps were executed!

 I am so thankful I picked up this little science kit at a thrift store this summer.

 It isn't exactly necessary, but she is darling using it.

 These crystals were super easy to grow!
