Science Fun

We have been studying the scientific method in preparation for starting our unit on water next week.  To practice the steps in the scientific method, we did a few fun experiments!  Here are a few pictures of our experiment with water, pepper and dish soap.  It is called "Pepper Freak-out"!  Ask your kiddo if they can tell you what Quick Hide My Piece Of Candy stands for.  If they can't remember, I'll tell you the answer at the end of this post....:)


First, we gathered our supplies:

Then, we sprinkled pepper all over in the water.

Next, we had a brave soul put the q-tip of dish soup in the water...!

 We were all amazed as the pepper "freaked out" and ran away from the soap!

I wish I had taken pictures of the first experiment we did.  We used milk, food coloring and dish soap.  The milk ran away from the dish soap and make the food coloring into a tie-die awesome creation on our plate.  It was pretty cool!  You can try that one at home with your kiddo for fun. :)
