Science Activities Rainbow Pudding
This Week in the Pine classroom the children will be focusing on Light, Shadows, and Rainbows. A cool science experiment that I thought would further engage children in the fascinating topic of rainbows, is allowing the children to create their own rainbow colored pudding. This activity will allow children to have fun making their very own pudding and also help the children learn the seven colors that makes up a rainbow. The science aspect comes in when the children uses food coloring and mixes it up to create the colors that is in the rainbow. It will amaze the children to see how the pudding changes from one color to another.

Today in the Spruce Classroom we continued to conduct our Science experiment involving water. Our water Science experiment we all did involved wax paper, a small cup of water and an eyedropper. I placed the wax paper flat on the table and allowed a few children to squeeze a drop of the water onto the wax paper using the eyedropper. The children watched with astonishment, as the droplet of water moved all over the wax paper without soaking the paper. It always makes me smile to hear the children's thoughts and reaction about the science experiment. Each child reactions was different, they create their very own theories on why the droplet of water moves across the wax paper. When I asked the children what they thought, Vaedyn yelled out "Look Ms.Adrian, the drop of water is dancing". I found his comment adorable and enlightening. His comment informed me that he is indeed learning! Vaedyn compared a droplet of water moving all over the wax paper to dancing, and to me that is simply amazing that a 3 year old understands the idea of comparison. Implementing Science in the classroom is a marvelous idea, it keeps our children minds sharp and always wondering.
