Science Lab has already become a fun activity that the children look forward to. Being science, it is a hands on activity, but it is so much more than that. It teaches the children to sit and listen so they will know what to do when the time comes for them to participate. They have learned the difference between a tool and a toy. Science uses tools, not toys. Children love learning new things.
In this science lab, the children learned the difference between a solid and a liquid. They saw that water is special because it can be both a liquid and a solid. The children especially loved when we made a non-Newtonian fluid which has the properties of both a solid and a liquid simultaneously.
The fact that it was squishy and messy made it even more fun!
