One of the downsides of having a PhD in Science Ed as a mother/teacher is how carefully science activities are chosen. We don't do many whiz bang magic tricks in our science class. For example, even though everyone loves making a baking soda volcano, they aren't very good models for how volcanoes actually work. But today, we made an exception and did some cool science stuff just for the (gasp) fun of it!
But first, a picture in our Halloween shirts...
and in our beautiful fairy aprons Grannie made for all of us.
Then, everyone made some instant "snow" and grew a princess that expanded in water.
While that was going on, I took one girl at a time and made a soapy, pink, glittery volcano!
Ava, Zoe, and Avery observe the volcano
Zoe, as the most senior student enrolled in the academy, had to wait until last to do her volcano. The wait was worth it!
Then, we brought out the slime! Everyone but Avery was a big fan. We decided there was something therapeutic about it. It kept them busy for a long time.
After everyone was de-slimed, we had an orange lunch!
and some cuddles with our youngest student, Charlie.
After everyone left, Lucy broke out the fall bin again.
This was probably our most fun Fun Friday to date. What a great group of girls and moms we have!
