Our First Science Experiment and a Home Extension

9/8/2011

Today was a most exciting day.  We had our first science experiment: "Observing Density."  Ed came and helped us explore how temperature effects the density of water.  We use food coloring to help us observe what happens when you add hot or cold water to room temperature water.

I invite the Magical Minds to extend their learning and do a science experiment at home. Below you will find two possible experiments.  My hope is that by Monday everyone will have had a chance to try at least one of them. 


NOTE: this is meant to be a FUN exercise.  Think of it as less of a homework assignment and more of an invitation to play.
