Kitten’s First Full Moon by Kevin Henkes

Division 10 read Kevin Henkes book “Kitten’s First Full Moon”.  The kitten in the story thought the full moon was a bowl of milk and kept trying to get to it.  We know that the moon is not made of milk or cheese. 

We did this science experiment to see the chemical reaction that occurs when you mix milk, food coloring and detergent. 

Supplies:IMG_0533Steps:

Fill the pie tin with enough milk to completely cover the bottom.

Add different colors of food coloring to the center of the pie plate.

Dip a Q-Tip in dishwashing detergent and then touch the Q-Tip to the center of the pie plate,  Watch what happens.

Here’s Why:

Milk has vitamins, minerals, protein and fat.  Mixing detergent with milk causes a chemical reaction to occur.  The soap molecules race around the milk trying to catch up with the fat molecules.

Try it at home.

You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose – Dr. Seuss

The children of Division 10 have been talking about the importance of setting goals for themselves.   

We know that the process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life by thinking about what you hope for, and for motivating yourself to turn those hopes into reality.

What would it feel like to be a bat flying through the night?  Division 10 created these paintings to show what echolocation might look like.
