Most preschool children like to do experiments! So I asked the LB children, "What kind of experiments would you like do?" Teddy Fox suggested we mix a few colors together and make gak. Sam R had a great thought too..."Let's mix flour and water together".
Today we gathered the ingredients to make gak. Alison S brought back two different kind of glue, Elmer's and clear glue. First we measured and mixed the ingredients together to make gak with the clear glue. The children picked out turquoise and red food coloring. We asked, "What color do you think the gak will be?" Sam R said, "Purple because I know blue and red make purple!" Well everyone agreed with Sam! The gak was definitely purple, but the consistency was more like jello not gak. So, we decided to use the Elmer's glue and try it again. Well, this batch of gak came out just right! The best part was at the end of the day the children brought a little bit of gak home to stay!
Tomorrow we will repeat the experiment using different colors!
