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.
Light Saber: I learned that if you poured a lot of vinegar into the baking soda it made bubbles explode!
Cars: I liked when the bag exploded!
Roselet: I liked when the bag exploded like a volcano!
Pirate: I liked mixing the vinegar with the baking soda.
Cinderella: I liked when the bag exploded. I learned that you put baking soda with the vinegar and it made bubbles.
Present: I liked when we mixed the colors together!
Belle: I liked when the bag with vinegar and baking soda exploded!
Ship: I liked when we mixed the colors.
Sarah: I liked when the baking soda turned to goo! I learned when you mix colors it makes a different one!
Knuckles: I liked when we mixed orange and purple together!
Princess: I liked when the bag popped. It had vinegar and baking soda in it.
Scout: I liked when the bag with baking soda and vinegar exploded. I learned that gas is clear.
William: I liked when we mixed the colors together!
Sleeping Beauty: I liked when the bubbles almost exploded from the cup.
Jack Sparrow: I liked when the bag kablooshed!
Rose: I learned that we discovered when we mix vinegar in baking soda it made bubbles.
Mommy: I liked when the bag popped.
Dobrom: I liked when we mixed all the colors together!
Ariel Princess: I liked the part when we mixed all the colors together!!!!!!
Spike: I liked when we mixed the colors together to make red.
