Misbehaving molecules

Yesterday we tried making our own misbehaving molecules with our friends.

We started with a short discussion about how molecules behave as a solid, liquid, and gas with the girls acting out and drawing their behaviour.

From there we moved to the kitchen and made our mixtures. The girls played with it for close to an hour, enjoying the feel and commanding their molecules to liquefy and "hardify" (solidify didn't seem to role off the tongue as easily).

As the other mom put it -it's the way science is meant to be taught - coupled with squeals of joy from the girls.
