This week's Marvelous Monday was an experiment with air. We took a hair dryer and tried to see what would float in the air stream. We used balloons, one with a weight in it and one without. We also used a ping pong ball. The ping pong ball floated above the hair dryer and when we took an empty toilet paper roll or paper towel roll and placed it over the ball we were able to create a vacuum and send the ping pong ball shooting into the air.
Next week, we are going to experiment with color changing milk. Come by about 4:15 to join the fun!
This is experiment is from Naked Eggs and Flying Potatoes, by Steve Spangler. Both of Mr. Spangler's books are available at Franklin County Library.
