The kids did a great experiment today, putting coins into different liquids, one into water, one into lemon juice and one into vinegar.
Squeezing a lemon....
Fine motor skill practice -picking up coins with tweezers...
Using a pipette to put vinegar into test tube with coin in...
We wrote out our experiments....used a clock to time how long we left coins in....
Results...(need to upload pic!)
We talked a lot about Acid, how the acid in the lemon and vinegar has corroded the dirt away leaving shiny coins! We spoke about what had acid in and what this felt like on our skin! Kids came up with great ideas of what had acid in...."mummy, wee wee stings my legs, does it have acid in?" "Mummy when we pick apples from our tree to early they taste sour...do apples have acid in?"
Then hours of making and playing rockets! This involved a lot of Internet research about space...we found out it takes 300 days to travel to Mars and 4years to travel to Saturn!!!!!
