More science before school starts

So, we did do more science projects however; we didn't do such a thorough job as the first time with all the notes and such. Here are two more that were and weren't successful due to not realizing that we didn't have enough materials and not enough time.

Lava Lamp!

We kinda needed a little more oil!

An alka-seltzer

It did fizz and do some bubbly stuff but because of the lack of oil, the effect was minimal.

Next - Making chocolate melt!

So we put chocolate in the upstairs bathroom, in a shaded spot outside and in the lawn which was very sunny. The ants got all over the chocolate that was in the sun and even though Atlanta feels terribly hot to us, none of the chocolate melted all the way in the sun or in the upstairs blazing hot bathroom. It was fun to get the kids doing something different so next year, I have time to prepare and have ample supplies on hand.
