Science experiment Sunday

What do you do when it's rainy and cold outside? Science experiements! Andy let the boys pick one out of a library book Marcus brought home. Did he pick the paper airplanes, the optical illusions? No. He picked the chemical reaction experiment-baking soda + vinegar = foamyness.

First, the boys drank some Koolaid drinks to get the bodies for their dinosaurs. Then they drew and cut out legs, arms, heads and tails and taped them on the body.


Master scientist Andy helped mix all the ingredients, and viola! green foam erupted from the mouths of the dinosaurs (or they might have been dragons)



Here's Cale's



and Ewan's. His dinosaur had a larger mouth/different size bottle. They all had fun seeing the foam and we did try and educate them about why the foam was being formed. I'm not too sure if they'll remember that part. :-)
