Wow! We did a lot with Chemical Testing this week.

Here is one sample from our water mixture/filtration test.

We ran our water mixtures (water and powder) through a coffee filter. We let the liquid fall into a little dish. After three days of sitting, we were able to see crystals!!

The boys and girls had to decide if the powder was separated through filtration or evaporation.

This was our meeting place everyday. I had to use a bullhorn to talk to them.

Here the children are watching to see if heat causes a chemical reaction with each powder.

More of the heat test!

We held a cupcake tin with a sample of each powder in it over a flame from a candle.

Mrs. Hardison and I both had a flame going for the students to see.

We experienced all kinds of stuff: yummy smells, yucky smells, crackling and popping, fizzing, color changes, etc.
