Take a look at a couple of kids enjoying their time outside!
STDuring snowman week we had a lot of fun talking about snowman, making our own on paper and outside and trying a science experiment with household ingredients. Here's what you will need for our experiment: -Baking soda -Dish soap -Salt -Vinegar -Waterproof accessories for the snowman (foam cut-out hats, peppercorn for eyes, mouth and buttons, small sticks for arms, carrots or orange peppers for noses) STEPS: 1) In a bowl, measure out one cup of baking soda and add 1 Tablespoon of salt. Mix throughly. 2) Add 1/2 tsp soap and mix it into the dough well. The dough should look crumbly. 3) Add 2-3 Tablespoons of water. If your dough will form a ball, you're all set. If it's still too dry and crumbly add water 1/2 of a Tablespoon at a time until you have a dough that molds into a ball. 4) Make and decorate your snowman with the waterproof accessories. 5) In a squeezy bottle or cup, slowly pour vinegar over snowman until it has melted to your preference. The students had a blast trying it out. Why not recreate the fun at home? |
