This water experiment along with many more activities to make your summer fun and a little bit easier! Oh the fun of water experiments and the outdoors this summer! George also noticed that if you sit downhill of the muffin tin, you’re likely to get wet too. He also noticed how the mud and sand turned the water a different color, but it didn’t in the others. Henry noticed that rocks changed in color when water was poured over it, but it didn’t absorb the water (okay, technically it may have a little bit, but not like a sponge). The way I worded that question left the experiment open to a little more than just absorption. “Do you notice if it changes when you pour water on it?” So I spun it a little differently by asking them a question. I didn’t expect them to understand what absorbing means. Once we had a good assortment of nature objects, I gave the boys a glass of water to fill their muffin tins. We collected rocks, grass, sticks, mud (it recently rained), sand, dry grass, flowers, pin cones, leaves and even dead dandelions. George was happy to put in several rocks in his tin… in several spaces. I had to give them ideas of what to look for. I sent the boys on a hunt for several objects from around the yard to fill up a muffin tin.
But we decided to use materials from nature instead. I think the materials that Amanda uses are probably better materials to explain the concept of ‘what absorbs’.
