RAINBOW/MILK EXPERIMENT
This one was our favorite. All you need is a shallow bowl pour some milk into the bowl. Add a couple drops to the milk. Take a cup and put some dish soap and water in it. Get some toothpicks and dip them in the soapy water and then dip them into the food coloring. The reaction is awesome and beautiful.
Every morning when we do our calendar we look out the window to see what the weather looks like.
CLOUD SHAPE
She looked at the clouds and then used the cotton balls to draw out what she saw; which was a Dinosaur Dragon with wings.
We melted an ivory soap in the microwave for 2 minutes, I would suggest to cover it since it explodes. We thought it would melt completely and be gooey, but we were wrong. It comes out soft and a couple hard spots.
K didn't want to touch it at first, once she did she said it felt rather weird. Then we decided to add water thinking it would get very soapy. To our surprise it kept its shape and was still a little hard.
THUNDERSTORM
This one was pretty interesting. Froze some ice cubes which I made blue a couple days before doing this experiment. Fill a clear container half full of warm water. On one side drop a couple drops of red food coloring and on the other put some ice cubes. Then watch the effects, which is really cool. Here I explained when the cold air and the warm air meet there's a shock that forms thunder in the clouds. She loved how this actually broke it down for her.
This is her favorite experiment, which she can do everyday if I let her. Fill a clear jar half full of water then put shaving cream on top. In a cup put some water with food coloring in it. Use a dropper to pour into the shaving cream the colored water to see the water (rain) fall through the shaving cream (clouds).
SENSORY BOWLS
I took 5 plastic containers and filled them up with water. Each one represented a different weather. It was fun doing this with her and going through our supplies making them.
