It only seemed fitting that my 200th post be about a science experiment! After all, a few years ago when I started this blog in 2008, it was an experiment. I was testing out the idea of keeping up a blog~ since we get around a lot!!! And, well, here were are in 2011 and I've been able to keep it up:)
The pictures today are of the girls doing a surface tension experient:) First, we tested it in a cup of colored water.
Fill the cups and drop pennies in 1 by 1 until you see the bulge at the surface--before the water runs over the cup!!!!
Then, do the same thing, only use a cup of soapy, green water :)
Some everyday household items make for the easiest and fun for the kids home projects~~~
Then, a penny, water, and medicine dropper. This penny held 24 drops of plain water, but only 8 of soapy water!! (The soap changes the water molecules and they are weaker)
Cool experiment~
.... I suddenly realized that I am not taking enough pics or writing enough memories! So, that means, more posts:) Stay tuned.....
