Science Experiments

We did some science experiments the other day.  We started by making quick sand with some corn meal that I found in my cupboard that was two years past expiration!

Checking out the ingredients

Mixing it up

Seeing what it feels like.

Spreading it all over

His face cracks me up!

  

After we were done with that I decided to try out corn starch and water.  I'd heard it's pretty cool.

We added blue food coloring to give it a little kick.

We felt it before we added water.  It's squeaky, and soft.

Once you add the water it turns into pure awesomeness!  When you hold still it turns into a liquid and runs off your hand.  But once you start moving it gets hard.  When you put your hand in the bowl if you move slowly you can move with ease, but speed it up and it turns hard.  It was so fun.  I even was laughing and having fun with it!

He quite enjoyed the goupiness of it!

He was sure Maizy wanted to help and experience it too.

It was not for the faint of heart when it comes to a mess.  What a huge mess!  Lucky for me I let Croix keep playing while I started dinner.  Then Brent came home and cleaned it up!  Nice!  Love that man!

Our little observer.

I love doing fun things like this with Croix.  It's just so great to watch him experience new things, new textures and hear how he describes things.
