Class Experience

Class will culminate with two fun science experiments that demonstrate the superpowers of soap. In each experiment, we will practice the steps of the scientific method including making...

Students will understand how soap works and practice the steps of the scientific method.

Experiment 1: Liquid dish soap (Dawn works best), a white or light colored bowl of water, a few shakes of black pepper.
Experiment 2: Liquid dish soap (Dawn works best), a cotton swab/Q-tip, a shallow dish or plate, food coloring in four colors, enough whole milk to fill the shallow dish, a tray or large cookie sheet to contain our experiment in case it gets messy.

30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
