“April showers bring May flowers.” or so they say. If you are looking for fun and educational ways to entertain your kiddos at home. Here are a two pre-tested science experiments tested by these two cuties to try!
April Showers: Walking Water: This fun science experiment is easy and actually really beautiful to look at. What you will need: 7 glasses of the same size, paper towels, water, and food coloring. Step 1: Fill the first glass a little over half way. Do not fill the next glass. Add water to the third glass to the same level as the first. Skip the fourth glass. Fill the fifth and seventh glass, skipping the sixth. In the glasses that have water add food coloring. Glass 1: Red Glass 3: Yellow Glass 5: Blue Glass 7: Purple. Drape the paper towels into the glasses as shown in the picture. Let the glasses sit for the next couple of hours. Soon the empty glasses will be filled with water and complete the rainbow.
May Flowers: Four Color Flowers: This science experiment would even double as a great Mother’s Day gift. Materials Needed: Food Coloring, A light colored flower with a thick stem ( 4 White Gerber Daisy is ideal), Water, and 4 glasses. In each glass fill 3/4 of the way full. Add a few drops of food coloring to each glass. Pick different colors to create a beautiful bouquet. Place flowers in the water and check back in a few hours.
