Made bath bombs

Math

• The child learned about measurements and proportions while mixing the ingredients for the bath bombs.
• They practiced division and fractions when dividing the ingredients into smaller portions for different scents or colors.
• The child applied basic geometry concepts when shaping the bath bomb mixture into molds.

Science

• The child learned about chemical reactions and the science behind how the bath bomb fizzes in water.
• They gained an understanding of the properties of different ingredients, such as how baking soda and citric acid react together.
• The child learned about the importance of following instructions and safety precautions when working with chemicals.

For continued development, encourage the child to experiment with different ingredients and proportions to see how they affect the fizziness and colors of the bath bombs. They can also research the science behind different scents and how they interact with the skin and senses.
