Here are some questions you can ask your preschooler about our day:
What did you add to make your paint bubble up?
Why did you NOT put vinegar and baking soda in your project volcano?
What did Ms Kristin spray in the air?
What fell on your face today?
Can you hear a pickle?
Thursday: V is for Vinegar!
VINEGAR PAINT PROJECT: We used pipettes to transfer colored vinegar to baking soda sprinkled on paper and watched the chemical reaction…kind of like a volcano erupting! We also scribbled more lava in our journals today!
VINEGAR + BAKING SODA REACTION: Ms Kristin brought out her volcano model again. There is a special tube that we put the the baking soda and vinegar in to see the chemical reaction: the carbon dioxide gas that’s made causes fizzing and bubbling. Her volcano is made of plastic so the liquid will not damage it….but putting liquid in our paper volcanoes would damage them, so we will keep them dry.
VINEGAR BOOK: After talking about pickles being made by adding vinegar to cucumbers, we read I Hear a Pickle and learned more about our 5 senses. We touched bubbles that fell down on us (just like in our book), we listened to the fan, we smelled lavender spray, we saw the last two Golden Letters on the ceiling and we had the option to taste (feel, hear, see and smell) pickles during snack time!
VINGER SHOW AND TELL: The Show and Tell things were safe from the vinegar which erupted out of the volcano…it’s like they were watching the show!
COPING SKILL OF THE WEEK: Our Coping Skill is Voo: making the vooooo sound on an extended exhale is proven to help activate the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), promoting relaxation and reducing stress by stimulating the vagus nerve.
