Carbon Dioxide, and the Water Cycle

Science- we had two science clubs since I wrote last time. The first week we learned about oxygen and carbon dioxide. We did things on air pressure too if I remember right. This year I actually remembered to get ready for this lesson and made some carbon dioxide indicators from a lime solution. These take over 24 hours to prepare, and I usually forget to prepare that far in advance, so this was the first time we actually did it, and it worked!


Next week we focused on the water cycle (perfect timing for watching Frozen 2 which in a round about way talks about it.) As part of this we showed how hot water rises and cold water sinks. Red is hot and blue is cold. In the purple one the red had been on the bottom and they mixed immediately.


I also had them draw pictures of the water cycle.


Pretty cute eh?
