Scientists Make Exciting Discoveries (PM)

Today we had a special visit from Miss Teresa, a science teacher who came to do exciting chemistry experiments with us. We experimented to learn about different states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. Ask your child-chemist to explain what happened when we mixed baking soda (a solid) with vinegar (a liquid). Ask about our color mixing experiment too! Here is what our budding chemists found most exciting and interesting.
