Lilies

For traditional Chemistry Day, Liles had a great time  doing  Simple Science Experiments -- Oil,Water and Food Colouring Mix,Do The Oranges Float or Sink in Water and Vinegar and Soda Explosion.  We tried to find out what happens when we put an orange  in a water container  with the peel and without and  were also curious to learn what happens when trying to mix oil and water with food colouring. The orange floats on the water surface with the peel because of numerous air pockets it has, but once without the peel it sinks to the bottom as it is now lighter. Once we mix oil and colouring it doesn’t mix,but when we put some water it mixes.  Vinegar and Soda Explosion was also a very interesting experiment where the chemical reaction produces a real explosion and came out. We had so much fun doing these simple scientific experiments!

We’ve been working with the following Lpfo goals:

develop their curiosity and enjoyment, as well as their ability to play and learn
develop their understanding of science and relationship to nature, as well as knowledge of plants, animals, and also simple chemical processes and physical phenomena
