CATCH BUGS!!
We found this moth out in our back yard. Being the daughter of a mom who collected bugs, I naturally wanted to catch it and measure it. Too bad I don't have the equipment to spread and preserve but a picture is pretty good. Yes, I left it alone after the pictures and this morning it was gone. It was just a little too big to squish so I let it go free.
MAKE AN OCEAN IN A BOTTLE!!
Just add some food coloring to some water and then add oil. We actually spent quite a bit of time watching the way the "wave" moved around in bottle.
DO OILY FIREWORKS!!
My picture isn't very good but it was pretty cool to watch, especially the first time (Adam did it about 5 or 6 times). Just fill up a clear glass jar or pitcher with warm water. Put 2 tablespoons of oil in a small cup and stir in food coloring. We did several drops of several different colors. Stir it up good so the food coloring is encapsulated by the oil. Pour the oil into the water. As the food coloring drops it breaks out of the oil and moves much more quickly through the water looking kind of like fireworks.
LET THE KIDS PREPARE A DELICIOUS DESSERT
What do you do in the summertime?
