After last week's science scare (scaring the kids off of science, that is), I think I've won them back - whew! More lab work, this time with things that erupt. Eruption is always good!
I don't know if these pictures will be too small for you to see ... but our little scientists did a great job of making the experiments do exactly what they were supposed to do. You can see something erupting from the bottom of the blue glass ... blobs of "stuff" travelling both up and down in the green glass, and a gigantic eruption in the red glass.
What, you ask, is all that white sediment in the red glass? The experiment called for the scientist to shake some salt into the glass ... our ... um ... enthusiastic youngest scientist enjoyed shaking salt so much that she felt it necessary to shake the entire salt shaker into the mixture! But hey - looks like it had some interesting results! We would never have seen the gigantic geiser otherwise!
