\nFill a bottle with vegetable oil and a little water. \u00a0Add food coloring. \u00a0Break up alka -seltzer tablets and place in the bottle. \u00a0The pictures don’t do it justice, but the little colored blobs move up and down the bottle. \u00a0We also compared the difference of how hard the bottle was when the cap was on versus off.

\n<\/strong>We started the experiment by placing a bar of Ivory soap and a bar of Irish Spring soap in a bucket of water. \u00a0Grace had the kids guess if either would float. \u00a0The Ivory bar did. \u00a0Then, she gave each boy a bar of Ivory soap and placed each bar on a paper towel in the microwave. \u00a0Take a look at what happened!

\nExperiment #3: Marshmallow Guns
\n<\/strong>Cut out the bottom of a paper cup and tape a cut piece of balloon on the bottom. \u00a0Place a mini marshmallow in the cup. \u00a0Pull the balloon back and “fire!<\/em>”
\n<\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Remove the crust on two pieces of bread. \u00a0Place the two pieces next to each other length-wise and slightly overlap. \u00a0Roll the two pieces together until flat. \u00a0Spread peanut butter on bread. \u00a0Place a whole banana at one end of the bread width-wise, and roll up the banana. \u00a0Cut into sushi slices, then drizzle chocolate sauce on top!

\n<\/strong>I am not sure what recipe Grace had for Flubber<\/a>, but I think this looks to be the same. \u00a0We added green food coloring…

\n‘R’ face planted and made farting sounds, causing all the boys to follow suit. \u00a0They were laughing so hard!
