Science is so cool!
Everyone loves science because you can ask question after question and think of fun ways to experiment! First you have to know your lab equipment. Make sure to check out the Smilebox for the photos. We had a ball touching and playing around with the lab equipment. A few days later we experimented with Steve Spangler's fizzy colors. Today we played with eggs. I had the children gently shake 2 eggs (1 hard boiled and 1 raw) and ask how they felt different. Then I showed them, me squeezing the egg with all my might, and big muscles! They thought the egg was fake, frozen, dried up, hard boiled, and even empty. Then I told them to hold the whole egg and squeeze-to their surprise the egg did not crack! Believe me they tried to break the egg. We then talked about the hard boiled vs. raw egg. We experimented with the eggs to find any similarities and differences. Make sure to check out the Steve Spangler experiment. They loved every minute of it! I can't wait to plan another experiment.

Looks like so much fun and better yet looks like the kids LOVED experimenting....so great!!
Wow! I am so doing this with my kindergarten students. We were learning about science and what makes a good scientist during the first two weeks. We even did the Milk Rainbow experiement and the kids LOVED IT!
Thanks for the idea - I am so borrowing it.
Looks like the kids are having a blast...they have the best teacher!
