Science experiments!

Since I've been at home more, Addie and I have done a few science experiments together . It's fun seeing things through the eyes of a three year old! I usually end up making a big mess (sorry hon) but we are a family of engineers....not a house cleaning gene in this body! I just have to force myself to clean and it's even harder with my little buddy in one arm (note to self: must teach baby to self entertain).

So far we have made our own sidewalk chalk, made "fireworks" from an oil and water suspension using food coloring, and learned about dissolving by dumping various powders from the kitchen (salt, flour, cocoa, etc.) into water and hypothesizing whether or not they will dissolve. Of course the girl loves the "fireworks" because she gets to handle food coloring and then we yell which one is going to "explode" first! I do believe I've used a whole bottle of oil doing this.....all in the name of science right?
