Volcano

We had another cancelled school day Monday, February 18th!!! the kids were really getting antsy although they would never admit it! Consequently, Emily and I decided we should do some "concoctions" with our free day.





Concoction #1 - The Volcano - Using 2 Sponge Bob paper cups, 1/4 cup baking soda, 1/4 cup vinegar and some red food coloring we created our very own Volcano! It even blew the top off! We tried it several times in a row, so it must have been a hit!



Concoction #2 - Blue Silly Putty - Using 1/4 cup glue, blue food coloring and 1/4 cup liquid starch we concocted Blue Silly Putty. The big draw back here was the blue turned our hands blue!



Casey's Concoction - As we needed to keep Casey out of what we were doing, I gave Casey, flour, water, spoons and measuring cup to "concoct" his own creation!



Our fun concoctions made the day go better and more fun! We even made it upstairs and cleaned out Emily's closet a little bit! We can see floor in her room!! Amazing! Little by little we will get there....

You are now in overdrive!!! Like I said I look often, just about every time I am on the internet, which is some times often.

Like the experiments.

Keep them coming!
