Science Experiment

Owen and I have been checking out books about science lately. We decided to try making our own baking soda volcano. Much less dynamic than the real thing, but still a fun afternoon.

We did another science experiment the other day. My kids (especially Owen) love to do little experiments. This one was easy and fun. We put the primary colors, RED, YELLOW & BLUE into 3 glasses. I put warm water into the glasses and let the kids put in a few drops of food coloring. Then we put 3 empty cups between these 3 full cups.

We put a piece of paper towel, folded in half lengthwise until it was about 1-2 inches thick. Then we waited. The colored water is absorbed up the paper towels and into the cups.

It took several hours for the water to make it's way, but eventually the cups were all half full and the colors ORANGE, GREEN & PURPLE were added. It was a fun and easy science project!
