Welcome to our home experiment class, guys!😃
Studying can bring much fun and joy, and in this case it brings not only use but pleasure to kids and...to parents. Boring textbooks are boring for adults as well, I think you agree with me;)
My son likes to make experiments, because it's an easy and cool way to know and test something new.
Today we were enjoying water optical illusions and other water properties using a glass of water and different objects.
So let's start!
All experiments are easy to make and fast to make but they are interesting for kids and teach them some important natural laws.
🌟A pencil looks strange and broken if we put it into a glass of water
🌟 A coin seems to lie in another place if we look at it through water
🌟 A standard optical illusion in the water
An object looks different, and it changes when we change the distance to the glass
🌟 Letters look different as well
It's letter that sounds like V in English
Now it looks different if we move a piece of paper placed behind the glass with water
🌟 Then my son decided to test what objects will remain on the water surface, and which one will drown.
He took a wooden stick and an oil pastel pencil.
The result was different, and he fixed it.
Then he tried to make his Lego man drown😄
But he didn't want it:))
🌟Then he threw a piece of clay into the water
It drowned, I explained him why. And then.... a surprise🌟🌟🌟 we saw little bubbles coming out of the clay and going to the surface. It looked so magical!
I understood that clay had porous structure, that's why air went out in the water, and it was an unexpected effect for both of us;)
🌟Then he tried to test a plasticine properties and to compare it with clay.
He made a plasticine man and put him into the water.
No bubbles. He drowned at once.
Nice comparison and examples of difference between so alike but so different materials.
🌟Then my son had a lot of fun throwing everything he had in his room into the water and observing what would happen.
So easy and so nice education water game, isn't it?:)
all glitters remained on the surface, and in the end of his experiments he knew all replies and results in advance, and I was glad he got water properties well;)
Science for kids and with kids is definitely FUN! I agree with you that these little experiments teach them more than we may think. There are some "intern" cognitive layers that are worked on and developing doing these experiments, where kids can see, touch, hear, analyze everything through their filter.
I have to do some experiments too with my son, its been a loong long time since our last one.
Thank you for sharig! Is it helpful for me because I can easily do all these with my son, without much research, since you shared with us the basics. Easy water experiments are a go to when both parents and children are in the mood for it.
thank you!!😍 we're happy you like it and wanna repeat our experience! I say "we" because my son knows I tell about our unschooling here, and he is very interested what people write. He doesn't know English, so he asks me to translate;)
That is so sweet! Then tell him I said I'm happy to see how and what he'll learn next! I encourage him to be brave, wise and patient and love reading and learning.
haha thank you!❤️ he is so surprised when I say I know people from other countries and can chat with them;) In my childhood it was a real miracle as well, just like all Internet technologies and PCs;)
Greetings @taliakerch, your son did amazing experiments with water, it must be exciting to see the bubbles and the results with the different objects.
Blessings!
thank you, dear! it was nice experience for him for sure;)
