We received this book before school ended to review and it got misplaced. Mom had put it away so we didn’t do experiments by ourselves. Then we couldn’t find it till September. A heat cancelled school day was a great day to do experiments.
We tried the following experiments:
Cool glow sticks
spin wool into yarn
Elephant toothpaste
Color explosion
Instant slushie
Orange oil lamp
The experiments were easy to do with a grownup. We did projects based on what we had at house. We will do some other experiments in future. We needed some other things to do them!
Along with the instructions, the book explains what the science is. For example, elephant toothpaste is an exothermic reaction and decomposition. It was warm to the touch!
The color explosion is about emulsion. The food coloring shows how the suspension is broken up. We even dipped paper in this to make cool marble paper.
Note: We didn’t have regular milk in house (dairy allergic) so we used almond milk. The color explosion worked fine.
Cool glow stick shows how cold affects items.
Teachers should have this book. The projects were fun and easy to understand.
