Candy Heart Experiment

Sci. Fi Friday!

Oh.my.word!
The beginning of Sci. Fi Friday commences!  Here we go!  Here we go!
This was our first "official" experiment, where we discussed the steps of being a scientist.

Our science experiment on Friday was a super cool one of Steve Spanglers.  His Color Changing Milk was out of this world C.O.O.L!  The Nation has experimented with this particular coolness before, but we mixed it up and brought in three kinds of milk instead of just whole milk.

1%
buttermilk
whole
food coloring
q-tips dipped in soap

Prediction:  the milk will blow-up.

It's funny how every experiment I have ever done in the Nation is supposedly going to blow up!  I'm not sure if I have  a rep or what?

 We are set.

 and dip

Rows  of milk: back-1, middle: butter milk, front: whole

Conclusion: We discussed the difference between bowls of milk.

We discussed the what we use each type of milk for.  Drinking, babies, and cooking.  We also discussed the fat molecules and how the color grabs a hold...thus changing the bowls of milk in different ways.

BE AWESOME.  TODAY. TOMORROW.  ALWAYS

Who's That Masked Wolf?

Firstie Nation followers, the weather is changing!  Yea!  So glad that the wind seems to be pushing spring in..not SNOW!

Spring...is that a wishful fairy tale?  A Cinderella story?
Speaking of fairy tales...the senate members have been learning about elements of Fairy Tales.  They have learned all about most fairly tales have the opening of "Once Upon a Time", magic or enchantment, a good character, a wicked character, and a "happily ever after."  With all our fun in fairy tales, we decided it would be fun to run a little experiment "The Three Little Pigs" style.
The senate members...

• built a house of straw (cotton balls)
• built a house of sticks (marshmallows)
• built a house of bricks (Legos)

The Wolves (senate members)...

• huffed and puffed and tried to blow each of the houses down.

Want to know what happened?  Ask a senate member for that answer!

The Nation kiddos LOVED this experiment!  I think they loved coloring the mask most of all.  They had a blast blowing things over with their wolf breath!
