We spent a little time thinking and talking about rainbows, and density while we experimented with colored sugar water. Mostly i think they had fun just making the rainbows on the walls with crystal prisms and stirring the sugar water for the project. Thank goodnes it was a sunny afternoon otherwise this would never have worked.
**so, to explain...because of the different amounts of sugar in each glass each layer has a different density. SO when you carefully pour them in the glass one after the other they layer instead of getting all mixed together.**

But Leslie, how did the colors stay separated. You have students out here in blogland that are clueless...do tell.
ReplyDeleteI am with MaryMary..How? Thank You for commenting on my Blog. I love my little bunnies too..but most of all I am impressed with what a good Mama they have had. Love the looks of the recipe below...think I will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteVery cool, Leslie!
ReplyDeleteLeslie---so cool. What a fun experiment. Have you ever made the 4th of July drinks using this same concept?
ReplyDeleteI think it was Crafty Crow that I stole it from----diet 7up, blue gatorade, cranberry juice...super cool.
Les-leeeeee, where aaaaare you???
ReplyDeleteFun! I am trying to do more hands-on science with my kiddos and this is just the thing. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool! I should try that with my boys. They would think that's cool also. I love doing fun things with the boys and they are learning!! Thanks for sharing that!:)
