Liquid Layers:

Ingredients:
-Vegetable Oil
-Water
-food coloring
-Honey
-dish soap
-plastic clear cups

1.For this experiment you will put the following in four separate clear cups. ¼ cup of honey
with purple food coloring, ¼ cup of blue dish soap, ¼ cup of water with green food coloring,
¼ cup of water with green food coloring, ¼ cup of oil with no food coloring, and ¼ cup of
rubbing alcohol with red food coloring.

2.Make predictions of what will happen when they are poured in the glass container.

3.Pour liquids from heaviest to lightest in the container (pour the oil and water over the back
of a spoon for best results.)

Ice fishing Experiment:

-Ice cubes
-Water
-Salt
-Clear cups
-blue food coloring
-string or Twine

Step 2. Lay the string over an ice cube
Step 3. Sprinkle salt over the string and ice. Wait 30-60 seconds.
Step 4. Gently pull the strings. The ice should come along with it!
Oobleck!

Ingredients:

-Cornstarch
-Water
-Trays
-food coloring (optional)

1.Pour water into a small bowl.


2.Begin adding cornstarch to the water. You can stir with a spoon at first, but you’ll need to
use your hand as soon as the mixture thickens.
3.Once you’ve added the initial 1.5 cups of cornstarch, add the remaining amount a little at a
time. You may not need all of it.
4.You are looking for a consistency that is liquid and solid all at the same time.
If you added too much cornstarch, add a little more water to thin it out.

Sink or Float with Oranges:

Supplies:
-Mandarin oranges
-clear cups or cereal bowls

1. Fill two large glasses of water about ¾ of the way full. If you don’t have a glass that will fit a
small orange, two cereal bowls will work great too.
2. Next grab two Halo mandarin oranges. Leave one as-is and peel the other.
3. Now that our supplies are ready, it’s time to talk about what the kids think will happen
when we drop the oranges in the water.
4. It’s time to find out! Take turns carefully dropping the oranges in the glass of water to see
what happens. Discuss the results.

Dissecting Hard and Soft Objects:

On a tray you can put some child scissors and plastic knives with any objects that are soft and
hard. For examples: sponges, felt, banana peels, marshmallows, rocks, pine cones, sticks, etc.
You can put two baskets next to the trays and ask your students to separate the hard items
from the soft items as they dissect them.
