For the Joy School Mamas!

How fun is
Joy School ! It began with making Jello! We talked about how water boils and creates steam when it heats up, and then we watched the water turn yellow when we added our Jello Packet. The kids loved it when we added blue ice cubes to our jello and it magically turned green. We talked about how the jello is in a liquid state and after it becomes a solid after a few hours in the fridge...we can eat it!!!!


Here they are mixing colors to see what different color combinations make.



At one point we mixed all of the colors and found out that it makes murky brown...nice!


Here is Travis with the magnet experiment. The kids discovered when is magnetic and what isn't.


Here we are testing buoyancy..





After a few hours they got to eat their Jello...




The kids called the green Jello "Alien Poop!" I've never been a big Jello fan myself..



The last pic I got was our balloon experiment. This was by far one of the favorites: what happens to balloons when you fill them with air and let them go.




All in all it was a great day! We've got a bunch of scientists on our hands!
