Today’s post is all about SCIENCE!! My boys LOVE Science experiments, they would do them everyday if I let them!! I thought that there might be other kids who also enjoy Science, especially Science experiments so I just wanted to share with you links to some of my past post that include Science resources and experiments we’ve performed. I also included a list of (what looks like) Great New Science links I have come across!!
Past Science experiment Post:
Another Fun Science Experiment
Bases and Acids Experiment
Science Lesson: The State of Matter we call LIQUID
Science Experiment on First Day of School
Any Science Book by Jeannie Fulbright. See them all HERE
Natural History Science: Weekly Nature Challenges
For younger (PS & K) kids:Sid the Science Kid
I just found these and they look great but I haven’t checked out the sites completely:
Science @ Yahoo Kids http://kids.yahoo.com/science
Zoom Science @ PBS http://pbskids.org/zoom/activities/sci/Science Made Simple
We talked about Solid’s and Liquid’s, the ex. we used….. rock is a solid matter and water is a Liquid matter
Here was the experiement from the above mentioned book: Here we used butter (solid) and heated it up until it changed into a liquid. When that happened I reminded the boys that the atoms and molecules were packed tightly together in the stick of butter and when the butter melted the atoms and molecules spread out. After we put the melted butter in the fridge and it solidified we saw how the solid butter took up a little less room in the cup than when the butter had been in a liquid form.
The boys really love doing experiments. I am going to have to make sure I do them more often!!
Here are the questions and answers from our Science lesson today.
