Today we continued our investigation of liquids with liquid races. Children worked in pairs to see which was fastest: oil, water, or cream. Ask your child about the results. Everyone then had a chance to investigate a different question. Some chose to see whether bigger or smaller drops of liquid are faster, while some chose to compare honey and glue. Several fascinating accidental discoveries were made as well. During our follow up discussion someone suggested we try all of the liquids on a different surface because then the oil might actually be faster. We will do that tomorrow.
