This experiment is so fun and it goes perfectly with one of my favorite bunny stories.
I created a FREEBIE to go along with the experiment.
I always start off this experiment by reading the book;
the Easter Bunny is Missing by Steve Metzger.
For the experiment, you will use four different liquids. You will put a peep in each liquid.
You want to see which liquid dissolves the peep the best, fastest, slowest…etc.
After we read the book we make a web to decide which liquids we are going to use. We list our liquids, and then we discuss how we think each liquid will work. After we discuss each liquid we circle the four we decide to use in our experiment.
Before we cover the peeps with the liquids I have the students complete number one in this FREEBIE. (observation form) They will be predicting which liquid will work the best.
Pour the liquids. WOW! The hot water started dissolving right away!
You can either have your class observe the peeps for the hour, day or even over a few days.
For this experiment we just let our peeps set for about an hour.
Last, the students will complete the rest of their observation form.
Have fun!!
