Pop Bottle Science

Today we did "Pop Bottle Science" - it's a book & supplies I had bought awhile ago for $2. D found it last week and has been BEGGING to do an experiment. He is the science & math kid. Our experiment didn't work out quite right...the balloon on top of the bottle was to expand (a lot more than it did). We tried it twice and it still didn't work. I'm not sure if it's because the pop bottle comes apart and maybe we should use a "real" pop bottle?! Or maybe it's just me. I'm not a science person. ;O(

Pushing the baking soda wrapped in a paper towel inside the top of the bottle filled halfway with vinegar...

Watching the baking soda & vinegar "fizz" and make carbon dioxide which was supposed to make the balloon blow up on top of the bottle... Oh well, maybe he can try it again tomorrow with J, since he enjoys science?! :o)


Yesterday K had a taped "F" on the floor that she stuck stickers to...


The completed "F" and whenever I get a picture of K, D wants to be in it too even though he didn't do the stickers. :o)

Putting glue on the "basket" - notice her tongue, she's concetrating a lot! K cutting the strips of green all by herself...
K's completed Baby Moses picture...
D read the ENTIRE book of Nate the Great (all 60 pages) yesterday so I told him we'd count it for 2 books. I kept asking him if he wanted to stop, after the first 20 pages, but he assured me he could read the whole book and he wanted to figure out the mystery. :o) He did a great job!
