6. Rinse the blobs in cool water.
7. When it's cool enough to handle you can press the blobs together and mold them into shapes using cookie cutters.
As you know, I also like to do whole class hypotheses before beginning and I like to glue the kids' predictions on chart paper. For this experiment I would give everyone a paper milk carton to colour and put their name on. Each child would then glue theirs above the appropriate hypothesis.
Have fun!
How fun! I am coming to your science class!

I used to have a noon hour Mad Scientist Club and I was thinking this summer how much I missed it.
DeleteFelix and I are set to do this on Wednesday. I will also be mailing you booties on Wednesday!! They are gorgeous.
