This are solutions had are found in the house and are used different ways.
An extension for learning could be the skittles and water experiment. Using warm water on a plate of skittles around the edge of the plate. The water reacts to the colouring and the sugar to dissolve and diffuse through the water. ]]> 2022-04-10 07:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/slaci0021/qo1snbgy3n0t2q2o/wish/2137843853 slaci0021 https://padlet.com/slaci0021/qo1snbgy3n0t2q2o/wish/2137843956 Different shaped containers
Using food colouring
This experiment can be inside or outside and can take place in the sandpit. The children could use a soft drink bottle which has been placed deeper in to the sand, and sand packed around it. 
Camera
Ask the children to film it
Pens and paper so the children can draw and write the steps down. ]]> 2022-04-10 07:44:17 UTC https://padlet.com/slaci0021/qo1snbgy3n0t2q2o/wish/2137843956 slaci0021 https://padlet.com/slaci0021/qo1snbgy3n0t2q2o/wish/2137844066 Asking questions-
Do the children recognise the ingredients we are using?
Making predictions-
What can we see when we add a small amount of vinegar to the bicarb?
What will happen when we add more? How much do you think we will need to make it go over the top?
Modelling language to describe whats happening, chemical reaction, one is an acid one is a base and when they combine its makes a gas called carbon dioxide and this is the reaction when it explodes or pushes through. ]]> 2022-04-10 07:44:39 UTC https://padlet.com/slaci0021/qo1snbgy3n0t2q2o/wish/2137844066 steml004 https://padlet.com/slaci0021/qo1snbgy3n0t2q2o/wish/2138378869 2022-04-11 00:21:37 UTC https://padlet.com/slaci0021/qo1snbgy3n0t2q2o/wish/2138378869 steml004 https://padlet.com/slaci0021/qo1snbgy3n0t2q2o/wish/2138379914 2022-04-11 00:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/slaci0021/qo1snbgy3n0t2q2o/wish/2138379914 steml004 https://padlet.com/slaci0021/qo1snbgy3n0t2q2o/wish/2138380352 2022-04-11 00:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/slaci0021/qo1snbgy3n0t2q2o/wish/2138380352 steml004 https://padlet.com/slaci0021/qo1snbgy3n0t2q2o/wish/2138384324 -The size of carb soda, sugar and split pea.

* cooking experiences - making play dough - combining the wet ingredients (water and oil) and adding to the dry ingredients, then combining all ingredients together
* sand and mud play/cooking/making potions in the sandpit. Use water, sand, bark, flowers, leaves, nuts. Use a mortar and pestle to crush leaves (lavender, rosemary, lemon grass, Lilly Pilly fruits/other fruits/berries and add to water/mud for sandpit cooking and play experiences. What can you smell?
* Make goop - cornflour and water
* Make a volcano in the sandpit - Bi-carb soda, vinegar and food colouring - ask children to predict (write down & document predictions on what they think will happen)
* Other experiences using temperature - heat (cooking)/ice/evaporation

- positional language - oil is on top pf water, water is underneath, colouring is through the water
- what shapes can you see in the oil (lots of circles). Why?

Magnifying glasses to observe the mixture before and after they are combined.
Other materials to add to the mixture - pasta, beads, glitter - ask what the children think will happen when these items are added to the bottle.

- what do you think will happen when you add the 1. oil; 2. food colouring?
-what do you think is heavier - the water, the oil or food colouring - and why do you think this?
- where have the circles in the oil come from?
- why do you think the water and oil are not mixing?
Documentation - noting children's predictions, hypothesis and observations, photos.

-Explaining the task to the students and what is required for them to do and how to participate 
- Ask the children questions- What ingredients do they notice, what colours do they see, making predictions about what do they think will happen. 
Engaging and interacting with the children observing them to see if they discuss and mention what is happening to the mixture and address what is occurring. 
Modelling and showing the children what they will be doing so they are prepared.
Responding as the children ask questions, recognise things, use their curiosity and wonder and make discoveries.

Adding other substances and other food colouring colours to the mixture- exploring with other substances. 
The children are using a process of eliminating, mixing, discovering and hypothesising to create a mixture of food colouring with water and substances and how they can incorporate and combine it with water during their experience of chemical science.  ]]> 2022-04-13 01:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/slaci0021/qo1snbgy3n0t2q2o/wish/2141685876 slaci0021 https://padlet.com/slaci0021/qo1snbgy3n0t2q2o/wish/2141698633 During this experience, children will be engaged in exploring the proprieties of objects, materials and substances. Through investigating and experimenting, children will discover along the way what materials can be mixed and what materials can’t be mixed together. The children will uncover that as they are experimenting with the resources and materials that food colouring and water combination, but if they add in vinegar or oil to that mix, it might not mix well together. ]]> 2022-04-13 01:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/slaci0021/qo1snbgy3n0t2q2o/wish/2141698633
