Today marked the end of the Haifa art unit. While it was sad to see such an amazing unit go, we have quickly moved to a topic that the students chose: science! This morning during choice time the students noticed a table filled with a drying rack, black construction paper, and a bowl of water. After putting a drop of clear nail polish (base coat works just as well, that's what we used!), you can see Leo dipping his paper into the water carefully.
As he pulled out the paper, the paper changed from being plain black paper to rainbow paper! The nail polish made some sort of film, and the paper became filled with color!
Alli liked the experiment so much she asked me to write down the ingredients for our experiment so she could show her parents.
We're hoping to have a lot more fun science moments in the weeks to come!

This was so cool to do. Thanks for inviting me in to do it, too!
