Science :: Making Mixtures

Jayden and I have been talking about matter and how matter can change in his Science lessons.  Today, we did a science experiment with creating mixtures with solids and liquids.

Experiment #1 : Liquid and Solids (water & Emergen-C)
Jayden predicted the solids would sink right to the bottom.

He was quite surprised when they dissolved and became a liquid themselves.  (it's like he hasn't seen me drink Emergen-C all winter!)

Experiment #2 : Liquid and Liquid (water & food coloring)
Jayden predicted the liquids would just mix together.

Correct!

Experiment #3 : Liquid and Liquid (water & oil)Jayden predicted the liquids would mix together.

He discovered oil would not mix into the water, no matter how much you stirred or turned the water different colors!
