This craft here will help the kiddos understand the rotation of the earth around the sun and moon.  What a great way to make this topic tangible. Go to the link above for the full tutorial.

Absorbing Science

(This is only Step 6 of a series of absorbing tests.  If you want pictures and instructions for all 6, click here.)

Step 6

Ok let’s go wild and fill 2 cups with water, add blue dye to one cup and yellow dye to the other.  Put an empty cup in between them.  Roll 2 paper towels. Place the end of one towel into the blue dye and one end of the other towel in the yellow dye.  Bend both the towels and put the loose ends into the empty cup and watch the magic happen.  As the coloured water is absorbed in the towel it makes its way up and then into the empty cup.  The blue and yellow food dyes combine making green water.  How amazing is that! Like our experiments science is absorbing and I give it 10 out of 10!
