Alrighty, let's go.
My son is five years old and loves science.
You wanna pour the oil?
- Uh hm.
- We use an oil and water experiment that allows Lorenzo to explore science and build literacy.
One, two, three.
- Three.
- We use different liquids to compare and contrast the smell, color, and thickness.
Now let's pour this into the big water and see what happens.
- [Lorenzo] Whoa!
- This experiment boosts observation skills and early learning skills.
Do you see how they stay together in the oil?
- [Lorenzo] Yes.
- I encourage Lorenzo to use descriptive words to describe what he sees.
- Oh, they don't stay together.
- They don't stay together.
This activity is a simple experiment and promotes science and literacy in a fun, relaxed, and natural way.
- Whoa!
