''Flash plan''
➥As you all know, these days we have a lot of extra time at home. We feel out of the ordinary
but let's stay positive and take advantage of this time to make more nice memories with our
family. In my turn, inspired of the theme project about colors, I will point out some of my
favourite STEM activities.
1. ICE PAINTS
You will need: water, ice cube tray, food coloring, popsicle sticks
Instructions
- Fill the tray with water, not till the top.
-Add a drop of food color to each cube. You can try to do some mixing too.
-Cut the popsicle sticks in half and stir the color. Leave the sticks in the tray for each cube.
-Freeze overnight. Ready to paint! Take them out and create a picture as the ice cubes melt
and colors reveal.
*Use a large water color paper so it lasts more.
2. OOBLECK
You will need: 2 cups of cornstarch, 1 cup of water, food coloring, a spoon, tray & bowl
Instructions
-Put the cornstarch in the tray.
-Add enough food coloring in the water so you have a vibrant color and stir in the bowl.
-Add the water in the cornstarch and mix it with a spoon. Once you have the desirable
consistency, you can add the figurines to play with.
👉Oobleck is called n0n-Newtonian fluid because it's neither liquid nor solid. Try to pick
up a clump of it and then watch it ooze back into the bowl. It's great fun for all ages.
3. COLOR VOLCANOES
You will need: baking soda, vinegar, food coloring, big tray, plastic cups/maffin tin, dish soap
(optional)
Instructions
You can choose to try this experiment outdoors or in your bathtub so you want use the tray
underneath.
*Put the cups in a line and add 3 tbsp at least in each. If you will use the tray 1 tbsp is enough.
*Add food coloring drops in each cup and try some color mixing too. For extra fizz you can
and a pump of dish soap. Give some vinegar to your children to pour in and get ready for the
''Woooow''! You will end up with the vinegar scent all around and a grey liquid from the color
mixing in your tray.😏
4. MAGIC MILK
You will need: a cup of milk, food coloring, dish soap, cotton swab
Instructions
*Fill the dish with milk 2cm deep.
*Dispense enough drops of different food colors all around the dish.
*Use a cotton swab soaked with dish soap and deep it in the middle. Watch how colors are
dancing away and play with it. It's a shock for the little ones.
5. COLORFUL STORM
You will need: a jar, vegetable oil, a cup of water,food colouring, fizzy tablet
Instructions*Fill the jar about half with vegetable oil and add a cup of water.
*Drop different food colors in the jar and watch how slowly they are reaching the bottom.
*Once you are down with the colors, drop the tablet in the jar and watch the storm you created.
➥''Very simple but extremely exciting activities that don't need much to take you out of your
midday boredom.
Hope you try and enjoy them! ''
