Tomorrow in science we are learning about how matter can change from gas to liquid to solid and so forth. There are so many different examples we could go over and it seems a little overwhelming.
I had a great idea tonight- let's just make coookies and talk about all the different stages of matter and how they change. That will work, right?? We are in need of cookies anyway. :)
I love when we get to eat our science experiments!
Today we did an experiment called "Dancing Raisins." We filled a glass up with pop (sprite) and put in 5-10 raisins. We watched the raisins being carried to the top by the carbon dioxide bubbles and when the bubbles popped, they would fall down to the bottom again, and then raise up to the top and fall again. They did this many times. But guess the best part besides learning about carbon dixoide and pop? Drinking the pop at the end! The girls thought it was great!
You should really hear our dinner table discussions lately about all of this!! Let' see, tonight we talked about ultimate zero, where energy really comes from, can everything really be in all three stages of matter, etc. It really reminds me of taking Chemistry in high school!
