Have you ever frozen ketchup?

We learned today about materials changing states and so we did some examples. We also learned about chemical changes too.

We froze water to see it expand...and boy did it ever! They loved the result! We filled the water up to the top and froze it today.

Then we froze gum(I threw it out before I took the picture) , soy milk, mustard, grapefruit juice, olive oil(these are on the top row)

Bottom row: Rice Milk, jelly beans(they were gobbled up slowly) ketchup, hershey's syrup, and honey

This was our rust experiment, for which we needed Dad's expertise! I didn't know if any of these would rust, but John informed the kids that nails are galvanized so they don't rust, so...
we started with the nail and...
Dad scraped off the stuff so it would rust with the water we poured onto it! Thanks Dad!

Atoms and Molecules

Mark's molecular airplane!!!

Glasses!


Katie's molecular man!! Melissa molecular massive window!!

Our evidence of the rainy day!!

Matthew is holding his molecule...very proud! Water molecules!

The kids are building their own molecules right now with jelly beans...it's raining cats and dogs outside. School can be fun!! Mark woke up not feeling so great...so as a precautionary measure, I brought him lots of books, toys and his own jelly beans to make his molecules. He seems fine now, but he is still playing in his room...the only time, I let him have "food" upstairs.

UPDATE: Mark's just fine...don't know what was wrong this morning...you would never know he felt bad.
