Scientists Make Exciting Discoveries (AM)

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.

Rainbow Heart: I liked playing with and mixing the colors!
Boost: I liked to mix the colors and to see them change!
Flower: I liked when all the bubbles came up and spilled into our bowl!
Star Wars: I liked when we mixed the fizz!
Miley (formerly "Building"): I learned that if you put baking soda and vinegar in a cup it explodes!
Chicken Soup: I liked when I mixed colors!
Horse: I learned about gas and liquid and solid.
DJ: I liked mixing the soda with colors!
Hannah Montana: I liked when the baking soda exploded and when we added the colors.
H2O: I liked when I fizzed the stuff.
Lollipop: I liked to explode the vinegar with my friend.
Little Foot: I liked when we put blue and yellow - it makes green!
Lightning McQueen: I learned how to make different colors!
Snowy: I liked when the vinegar made the baking soda bubble.
Melody: I liked the experiment! I liked when the baking soda and vinegar exploded!
Tinkerbell: I liked putting the color in the vinegar.
Blueberry Worm: I liked mixing the colors!
Strawberry Worm: I liked the different colors in the baking soda.
