Science Friday - and we had a full house! What a fun time making saturated liquids and watch crystals form, but even more fun to play with moon sand - a non Newtonian substance that is hard when hit, but slides through the hands like water when held. We started off by exploring what happens to Ivory soap that is put in the microwave, a great success every time we do it. The microwave is pretty clean now.
It was a good balance of instant gratification - Laundry Soap crystals - and patience building as the children eagerly awaited the fully saturated solutions, tied their strings and added food coloring to what really just look liked muddied water. A few days later, Lukas and Noah discovered the beginning of crystal formations and are now excitedly waiting the day the sugar crystals are deemed ready to eat.
Mama is grateful for good weather and helpful friends to pull this messy Science Friday off without a hitch.
