July 15, "Bubble prints"

This class we continued studying air. We started off by remembering properties of air. We "made wind" and recalled that birds use air to fly and trees sway in the wind. We also remembered that we cannot see air.

Then we talked about bubbles, that we see bubbles and they are full of air. We learned a song "10 little bubbles".

One little, two little, three little bubbles,
Four little, five little, six little bubbles,
Seven little, eight little, nine little bubbles,
Ten little bubbles go POP!
 

Then we watched how air can go through the straw in the water and make bubbles inside. Then we each added food coloring and dish washing soap to out containers. Out bubbles then became miracles! They started growing and growing! We pressed white paper against the bubbles to see the prints that they make. This was amazing! See for yourselves in the pictures! Our little scientists really learned and enjoyed themselves.

Home practice: I recommend for your littel scientist to find other things full of air, like balloons and keep practicing bubbles :-)
