Mrs Cooper has been doing some of the home learning to show you! Take a look for lots of fantastic ideas 🙂
Joanne has been busy experimenting with colours! Can you try a science experiment at home? Have a look on YouTube for lots of child friendly science experiments. Click on the pictures to enlarge and view the instructions.
Miss Harris has been busy recreating the magic milk experiment. It didn’t turn out so well because my food colouring had gone gloopy! Can you do a better job?
All you need is…
-
a small plate filled with milk
-
drops of different food colouring in the milk
-
a cotton bud coated with washing up liquid.
Once you have put drops of coloring into your milk, touch the milk with the end of your cotton bud and watch as the colours repel each other and dance around the plate.
