A SoApY Friday!

I am sure by today your children have probably told you about the science experiment we did this past Friday, but in case they haven't please ask them about it! First, we predicted and wrote about what we thought would happen if we put a bar of soap in the microwave. Next, we put our bar of Ivory soap on a piece of wax paper in the microwave for 2 minutes! The soap expands, and the longer we left it in there the bigger it got! Next, we crumbled the big pile of soap up into a bowl and added a little bit of warm water! This created kind of a doughy texture, then the kids used cookie cutters to make their own personal bars of soap that they will be bringing home today! We had a great time and here are some pictures to prove it!
