Gas Planets

We learned that there are some planets made of rock and some made of gas. To see what a gas planet might look like up close, we added food coloring to milk. Then squirt a little Dawn dish soap and watched the colors swirl around to simulate the gassy planets!

Water Beads Sensory Bin

 

Water beads make such an awesome sensory bin! I put clear water beads and blue marbles in the bin with some water. When there is water in the bin, you can no longer see the clear beads.

 

 

You can't even see them, right?

 

 

The kids used scoopers to try to get out the marbles without scooping out any water beads. It was pretty tricky!

 

 

They had a blast trying to retrieve the marbles. Simple and fun!
