As it is the school holidays, my girls are very busy driving me up the wall!
However, I am having so much fun because their company is really great and they put me in stitches of hysterics every single day!!! They are psychotic lunatics, I kid you not!!!
Today, T1 asked me if she could perform a Science Experiment to separate FAT. Huh? I had no idea what it was about and was too busy to really understand what she wanted to do so I just asked her what she needed. She said milk, dishwashing liquid and food colouring. Sounded simple enough. I asked her if there was any fire involved? She said no, not at all, am I crazy???
I truly didn’t have the time to monitor this activity so I told her to go search for the items herself which she did. Not long later, I heard squeals of delight from both girls!!!
Not wanting to miss out, I ran to the kitchen to see what they were up to and they were both poking this cotton bud into the bowl of colours below and the colours kept moving in a certain way every time they poked the liquid. It was fascinating and a very pretty sight.
I finally asked T1 what this was all about and bless her, she taught me an interesting concept that I will now share with you. The objective of the exercise is to see how dish washing liquid removes oil/fat. I think?
We all know that full cream milk has fat, right? Pour some full cream milk into a bowl. Add some drops of food colouring into the milk. Dip a cotton bud into some dish washing liquid and then start poking your coloured milk mixture. The dish washing liquid cotton bud will push the fat molecules around and this is what your colours are doing. That is exactly how T1 explained it to me.
Then I asked her how and where she learnt this from? Was it from her Science Book? Or her teacher? Not at all!!! She said she read about it from a Science website!!! (the dangers of Google and an iPad). So I asked her where it was and here, ladies and gentlemen, I share with you Steve Spangler’s Science Website that contains lots of Science for Kids!
Enjoy!
