We made ooblek! We mixed cornstarch with water and food coloring to get a messy and fun mixture. It is both a solid and a liquid because when you hold it in your hands, it melts into a gooey mess, but when you move it in your hands, you can form it into a ball.
We also got to make candles! Our teachers melted wax for us, and then they added blue and red crayons to get the color for the candles. We alternated layers of blue and red, and also added chunks of ice inbetween the layers to add texture and to make holes in the wax.
Our AWESOME class!!!
It has been a pleasure working with all of your wonderful children. We hope that they enjoyed Science Detectives and learned a lot too! Thank you for your time and support; hope to see your kids around throughout the school year or next summer as they continue to grow!
