For some reason, this has been a science week at our house. I would love to say I planned it as part of our summer curriculum, but the plain and honest truth is that sometimes the Free Spirit gets on a science kick (or an art kick) and the result is that things are invented and the house is destroyed. On Monday, she made a stethoscope out of a balloon, a funnel and some hollow tubes:
It worked, by the way.
Then on Tuesday, she decided to do the Mentos geyser:
Here she is sneaking in a drink. She's not allowed to have sugar, by the way. She also ate the Mentos.
That was just the beginning of the week. Since then we've done 2 taste tests and made several batches of slime, using, I might add, every measuring cup in the house. Which means I had to do dishes. Sigh.
Maybe next time she'll get on a cleaning kick?
A mom can dream...
