Hi everyone, on Tuesday the girls did the Saltwater Float experiment. We used table salt in one measuring cup and kosher salt in the other with warm water.
We used two uncooked eggs and gently put them in the measuring cups.
The egg in the kosher salt sunk (left side) and the egg in the table salt floated (right side). The girls really enjoyed this experiment.

Hi everyone, Mother Goose times focus this month is Blast Off To Space. Due to the high demand I wasn’t able to get this curriculum, which is okay because that is a sign the company is growing. However, I came across these awesome books about space for you to read to your little ones. Have a great day.
