Melting Ice with colored Salt


This one was fun. I froze a water bottle,
then cut the bottle off and gave her salt that I had dyed.
(All you do is mix a few drops of food color into the salt and let dry.)

Baking Soda & Vinegar Ice experiment

We did a little baking soda & vinegar experimenting today.
 
To start off, I mixed some red food dye with vinegar and filled
one side of our ice tray. Then, I mixed a little water & blue food dye with baking soda,
and spooned it into the other side.
Freeze overnight.

I put some baking soda on a plate, and she added a vinegar cube.
 We let it sit & melt, but nothing happened.

Then she dropped a baking soda cube in a small bowl of vinegar.
This one worked. It fizzed up & dissolved the cube.


Our last try was to put one cube of each in a small bowl to
see if there would be a reaction as they melted. Nothing happened.
We ended up pouring a little vinegar in and that caused the typical reaction.
 
Even though not all of these worked, they
were still Lots of fun.

Rain in a cup and jar for kids

Fill a cup 3/4 way with water, then top with shaving cream to make
"clouds".  Drop food color on the top, until it is so heavy that is starts to "rain"
into the cups/jars.

Fizzing Sidewalk paint

Today was a semi-warm day, and after being cooped up in
the house for months, I knew we needed something fun to do.
So, I took 4 pieces of chalk, soaked them in water & ground them up.
Mixed them with some water, a few drops of food color, a tbsp. of baking soda
 and some cornstarch. I filled up 2 squirt bottles with vinegar, and we headed outside for
some fun!
 
 

Paint...

...fizz!

...fizz!

Squeezing vinegar on some paint that she painted
on the dirt/grass.

Do you know what Laminin is?

Laminins are what hold us together …LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion molecules. They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we would literally fall apart. The glue that holds us together….ALL of us….is in the shape of the cross.
Just a little something I found very interesting, and wanted to pass along. :)
Colossians 1:17 "He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."
