?? Fall Into Science: Little Scientists, Big Discoveries! ?

Our little scientists explored some exciting fall-themed experiments! From watching a ghost balloon inflate to mixing ingredients, exploring colour-spreading bat wings and weighing autumn treasures, there was so much to discover.
The balloon experiment introduced cause and effect by mixing baking soda and vinegar to create carbon dioxide, a gas that fills the balloon! Spraying water onto decorated paper wings let the children observe how water travels through absorbent paper and carries colour along with it. Mixing offered opportunities to notice changing textures, while balance scales helped them compare objects as heavier and lighter.
These playful investigations encourage children to wonder, make predictions, test ideas and watch closely—the beginnings of scientific thinking! ?
