Lets be Scientists Again

Lava Lamp Experiment

Supplies Needed:

• Vegetable Oil
• Water
• Food colouring
• Original Alka Seltzer tablets

To begin, colour about 1/2 cup of water with food colouring.

Take the Alka Seltzer tablets and break them into 2 or 3 pieces. Place them in a small cup or container.

Fill a glass about 3/4 full with vegetable oil. Then pour in the coloured water until the liquid in the cup is about 5cm from the top.

You don’t want it to overflow! Well, unless you want to turn it into an eruption experiment too. For this reason and quick clean up, I like to do this on a tray.

Let the children take turns adding a piece of an Alka Seltzer table to the cup. *DO NOT let them put the tablet in their mouth at any time.

Shape

 

This Shape Song is a groovy and interactive song for kids that introduces four 2D shapes: circle, triangle, square, and rectangle.

In your community

In your local area: When you are out on your daily walk why not have a look at different signs and environmental print in the community can your child help point out some circles or triangles or maybe they can find the letters from their name on street signs or shops etc.

Talk about the sides of the shapes are they straight or curved? Are there long sides and short sides? How many corners are there? How many edges does the shape have?

Something for Parents

Supporting Your Child’s Emotional Resilience During COVID-19: FREE ONLINE COURSE

We are living in unprecedented and uncertain times. The coronavirus crisis has resulted in wide scale and rapid changes to the whole of society that we are all adapting and reacting to. This particularly applies to children, who have found their routines, friendships and support systems radically changed and many are struggling with the physical and mental pressures resulting from these changes. Understandably for many people, anxiety levels are high.

The aim of this course is to help parents and caregivers to understand and develop emotional resilience for you and your family.
