Both kids like science - I think because they just like to see what happens when we put things together, take them apart, or whatever.They especially like it when things explode.
Right now, we're not equipped to conduct major science experiments, but we can play with things around us! This week...we're about WATER!
(Like my impromptu chart?)
We learned that water can be found in different states...liquid, solid, and gas.
We also learned about how things dissolve with salt and water, funny how the salt disappears and yet you can still taste it! We also learned about evaporation - magically, once the water evaporated, the salt came back! We also talked about how water condensed on the outside of our drinking glasses because the water vapors in the air are pulled to the coolness of the glass.
Dad even took evaporation to another level and dried the parsley from our garden and banana that was hanging around on the counter. (Way to go Dad!)
We'll see what happens to the apples next!
