Science Friday is back

It is Friday, which means science at the SILL Academy. This spring we are going to do a lot of chemistry experiments since we have a great chemistry kit. The boys cracked open their science journals and dutifully recorded the materials and processes along with hypothesis about the ph of water and vinegar.
This first experiment was a two day event - make the potion the first day, use it the second,  - so school continued on Saturday.
After we mixed up the potion, we talked about chemistry and how materials are made up of basic elements. To help visualize this, and it was snack time after all, we used yogurt covered raisins, mini marshmallows and dried pineapple to create  water and sugar molecules.






Since can be both fun and tasty!
