Science Day

One of the things on our Summer To-Do List is to do "Science."  Well we set aside an entire day and did just that.  We started with a picnic because we all love to eat and who can do science on an empty stomach?
 We did the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment while at the park. David showed the girls how...


 I bought little bottles of coke so the girls could try it out themselves...

 We had the girls write down a hypothesis and a conclusion and then draw a picture of each in their science notebook.
 Soap in the microwave....
 What a difference!
 They loved this one, but it made our house stink so bad.
 Milk, food coloring and dish soap make a dancing picture.
 Homemade lava, the picture didn't turn out too well.
 Exploding bag....
It didn't work too well, but the girls liked it anyways.
I had a lot of fun watching the girls come up with a hypothesis and conclusion, they had fun trying out so many new things and of course David had blast sharing his love of science with the girls!
