COOL Science

Our homeschool group had a really COOL science day in December.  One of our moms is a former elementary school science teacher.  She had us all over for some neat science experiments.  First they did a burning sugar experiment to learn what happened to the elements in the sugar during burning.  With burning, condensation was created which is the H2O separating from the carbon.

In the second experiment the kids used driveway salt to create an exothermic reaction.  Ryan participated in this one and thought it was COOL!

Lastly, the kids made some penguin postcards to send to the Antarctic Research Station.  These were then mailed back to the kids with the rare Antarctic postal cancellation.   These will be treasured for a long time!
