We excitedly welcomed Mad Science back to our school earlier this month. The program they presented this time was "Mad Mixtures," an interactive program that consisted of hands-on activities to introduce mixtures and the science of chemistry. The lesson began with a mini volcano to demonstrate how mixing things together can create something new!
Our "mad scientist" then focused on the mixing of colors. The kids examined tubes that were filled with colored water and oil. The oil and colored water separated when left alone and mixed together when the kids shook them up!
Next, everyone was given a baggie filled with several different colors of a jelly-like substance. They were instructed to softly press on the baggies to mix the colors. As they pressed the colors together they mixed to make new colors.
Finally the Mad Science instructor let the kids pick out a color and she added that colored water to some homemade dough in a bag. The kids smashed the bagged dough to mix their color into the dough.
