We thank you God for the scientists who are working hard at this time to find a medicine for Coronavirus, whether that’s a treatment or a vaccination.

Today lets all pray together that God would guide the scientists and give them the wisdom they need to be able to create the right medicine.

Prayer doesn’t have to be done sitting still. While you pray for scientists today … why not have some science fun at the same time?

This Fizzy Colour Mixing Experiment is from inspirationallaboratories.com

 

 

 

The fizzy colour mixing experiment explores the mixing of different colours.

 

This is an activity to do on a tray or out in the garden!

Start by adding washable liquid paint to each cup. (You can also use food colouring, but be warned that food colouring has the potential to stain clothes and surfaces.) Start with red, yellow and blue and then talk together about what other colours you need to make the rest of the rainbow.

 

Cover the liquid paint with a layer of baking soda

(1-2 tablespoons)

If your kids don’t watch you do the setup of the activity, they won’t know there are colours under the baking soda. It makes for a fun surprise to see what colours will appear.

 

 

Use a squirt bottle, eye droppers, or spoons to add vinegar to the baking soda. To make the vinegar go further, you can add water to it. This will decrease the fizziness of the reaction but it will still be fun and can help extend the activity.

The more vinegar you add, the more bubbles will appear.

If the fizzing stops, you can add more baking soda and see what happens. Will you get more bubbles? Do you need to add more vinegar?

When you’ve exhausted the initial supply of baking

soda and vinegar, use eye droppers to mix the colours.

What happens when we add red to yellow?

Talk about the colours they are using.

Talk about the colours that are made.
