Summer Fun

Keeping an eye on the experiment. 

Using water to melt the ice.

Using our hands to melt the ice.  

discovering a whale.

Max liked putting the animals in the box.  His favorite is the octopus.  He can even say it octopus! 

We had a great time with this little science lesson.  I put small ocean animals in a a bin full of water and food coloring for the "deep water".  Then once the block of ice was frozen we took it outside on a hot day and used different methods to melt the ice and discover all the different species that live in the ocean.  Unfortunately I put to much in so it was way to green in the water, but it was still fun. It did turn our hands green!
