We are creating colourful sugar crystals. The materials are sugar, water, food colouring and a plate. First, we stirred the sugar into the water until it dissolved. I used lukewarm water to dissolve the sugar more easily. Still Mr K and Ms C took a long time to stir it. We added a few drops of food colouring. Mr K chose blue food colouring and Ms C choose pink.
Corny Goo – Science Project
Today, we tried to make a goo with strange behaviour. This is a very simple experiment. You only need water, cornflour, bowl, plate and spoon.
The children put cornflour onto the disposable plastic plate and added water. After a quick stir with the spoon, they added more water until the goo was thick and creamy. They could then pick up the goo to roll it between the fingers.
Absorbing Science – Science Project
Inspired by this week’s Play Fest Twitter on Montessori play shared by @bluebearwood, I decided to have a go at the absorbing science. We went out to a bargain shop to buy some food dye. They were only 37 pence each as were are near the expiry date.
