Mad Scientist Birthday Party

We had so much fun at Chance's birthday party!! It's always fun to celebrate with family and friends!!
All ready to start the experiments!!

On a coffee filter they drew designs with markers and then sprayed water on it and watched the colors spread out!

We filled a bowl with a little milk and a drop of food coloring. Then we dipped a toothpick in dish soap and touched the drop of food coloring and the drop would disperse.

We filled a bottle with water, a little bit of vinegar, and a tablespoon or so of baking soda and were excited with the results!!

We cut a pringle can, added wax paper to the lid, and then taped the can back together with duct tape and with the lid in the middle.With a push pin we made a hole in the bottom of the pringle can. We then looked through the open end of the can in a sunny spot and everything appeared upside down!!



Our big 6 year old! He is such a joy!!
