Oil and Water Don’t Mix!
Get a medium sized clear plastic bottle such as one from shampoo or a one liter
soft drink. Soak off all labels.
Fill the bottle about 1/3 of the way with water and add food coloring.
Fill the bottle the rest of the way with light colored or clear oil (such as mineral
or baby oil).
Glue the lid on securely.
Encourage the children to shake and move the bottle gently and watch the waves
and the tiny bubbles that form. Help them describe what they see as they move
the bottle different ways.
Scientists at Work
Display collections of nature items on a table such as various sea shells,
interesting rocks, different color and shape leaves, bird feathers, and pine
cones of different sizes.
Provide unbreakable magnifying glasses, scales, tongs, and tweezers with
blunt edges.
Invite the children to use the tools to explore and investigate.
