Magic Milk!

The children at BestStart Montessori St Albans have been busy learning about science! This focus has really taken off within the classroom.

The children have been enjoying covering all the different aspects of science. Our kaiako (teacher) Sarah found some great science books at the local library - this has meant children have really been able to lead their own learning and choose what experiment they would like to do!

The children have been busy this week exploring 'Magic Milk'. This activity is where off room temperature milk is placed in a shallow tray, followed by using a dropper with coloured dye. Once the dye is dropped into the milk, you then add some drops of dishwashing detergent. From there the detergent and coloured dye mixes together to create beautiful mixed coloured patterns. They children loved the cause and effect of this activity. 

I wonder what our next experiment will be?!
