Science Experiment 3/6/13

This is the science experiment we did at circle today. The children LOVED it so I thought I would share. Now you can do it at home and see it for yourself.

You will need:

2 Tbsp warm water

1 tsp yeast

1/2 c hydrogen peroxide 6% OR Salon Care 20 volume clear developer (available at beauty supply stores)

         Do not use hydrogen peroxide 3% - it is not strong enough and will not cause the reaction.

a few drops of food coloring or liquid watercolor

one pump of dish soap

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Set aside.

Put hydrogen peroxide, food coloring and dish soap in a plastic bottle.

Place plastic bottle on tray or in sink to catch the mess.

Add yeast solution to hydrogen peroxide solution and watch it foam up.

*We will do an activity that helps the children have fun with classroom rules and routines. We will also talk about friendship such as how to get along with others and how to ask for help. It is normal for preschoolers to need a refresher on this every few months. Letting the children take part in making and maintaining the classroom rules and routines makes it not only easier but more fun.
