Library Day

This last week my brain has been FULL of science experiments, kid jokes, and stage fright! We did a library day at the local library yesterday and what a sigh of relief that it is over! We had a great time. The boys had fun making different experiments that would make large bubbles and seeing how far they could get their slime to stretch. In the end we talked about polymers and played with bubble solution and gak. We found many of our science ideas at Steve Spanglers Science. That web site is a gem last year. We'll probably find our ideas for next year therefor the best science days here at home. Its where we first learned about the mentos in the soda trick that we did also. The parents of the first group were NOT happy when we said that they could take the gak home..lol..like WE were going to be the bad guys and make them throw it away! We did give them baggies for them to take it home with..lol..the second group was much more relaxed and we had a lot of fun with th em. There were about 30 kids the first hour and 50 the second hour--so we were pretty busy!!
