Atching Emily's science lab

Science

• The child learned about the concept of density by observing the oil and water not mixing together.
• They learned about the concept of chemical reactions by observing the vinegar and baking soda mixture bubbling and fizzing.
• They learned about the concept of states of matter by observing the ice cube melting and turning into water.
• They learned about the concept of magnetism by using a magnet to attract and pick up paper clips.

For continued development related to the activity, encourage the child to explore more hands-on experiments at home. They can try making a volcano erupt using baking soda and vinegar or conduct simple water experiments to learn about buoyancy and surface tension.
