Preschool Science

The kids are always up for an adventure and I love science (dorky, I know!) so when this quick, easy experiment came across my Facebook newsfeed, I knew we had to do it! My eager scientists made it even more exciting! 

(And our equally excited onlookers)

First, we dropped food coloring into a container with oil and used forks to separate the drops. 

Then we put warm water into the glass jars and poured the oil/coloring mixture into the jar also. As the color drops fell to the bottom they "exploded" like fireworks. It was pretty cool. Until the end, when we ended up with glass jars full of murky, brown liquid. 

They got to experiment with mixtures and only a minimal amount of things were covered in blue food coloring. I'd call that a win ;)
