Water, oil and food colour experiment

 

We tried the water, oil and food clour experiment this week. Actually, to get to this video, there were many trials and errors as the experiment did not work in the beginning. The children collected their own data and shared their ideas with each other to find out why it didn't work. We also watched the video of how to do it to see what could have gone wrong. One of the children thought it was the size of the glass container. Originally, we used a tall sized glass, but we were able to find a large glass vase. This was a great find as becuase of this sized vase, we were able to achieve the experiment. We all enjoyed watching the food colours going down the water. There were many different descriptions of what the children saw. You can hear one of the girls saying that it looked like fire works! Science experiments allows us to use language and share our ideas with each other.
