Science Experiment

Today we took a break from the normal routine, and added a science experiment! This quarter, we are learning about water, while we continue through the Bible. Our nature is always presented together with the Word, as it is His Creation. Today in school we covered the three states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. Yes, I know there is a fourth, as Professor so astutely pointed out, but a child needs not to know about plasma at 8 years old. Anyway, back to the experiment. We made juice slushies by lowering the temperature of ice. It was quite fun! I used a book called "Science Adventures"

Straight Arrow putting the homemade snow into the ziploc bag.

Measuring the salt into the snow.

Pouring 1/2 C of grape juice into smaller baggie.

Duct-tape over baggie, to ensure it will not bust open!

Kind Heart getting into shaking the bags! This part was very cold, one needed gloves or towels to hold the bag.

And the slushie is made! The first batch took about 2 minutes, the second batch took about 20 seconds.

Delicious!

Happy Customers!
