Scientists in the school
Today while volunteering at the school I was able to join in the fun with Easton's class for Scientists in the School. There were many tables set up. Marine biology, paleontology, meteorology, and chemistry.
I was in charge of the Chemistry table. We learned about protective lab coats, and glasses, we learned that Chemists work in a lab. Then we made potions as some kids called it. We mixed water and sand, water and salt and learned what it meant to dissolve or not dissolve. We mixed baking soda with water, and then baking soda with vinegar. We discussed how water and vinegar look the same and are both liquids but after smelling them, they are VERY different. Some kids thought the vinegar smelt like chips.
All of the kids loved the chemical reaction to the vinegar and water.
I had a great time and am so glad to be able to be a part of these special days.
