Can You Separate Sand and Salt? momstown KW Can!

Guess what we did at Little Scientists this month?

 

We separated sand mixed with salt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's how:

• Mix sand and salt together

 

• Stir the mixture into water
• filter the water through a coffee filter

What you have left with is salty water and sand in the filter

 

Now, to get the salt back, boil the filtered water until nothing but salt remains!

 

Pretty cool huh?

 

Don't forget, our momstown Movers program isn't all work... there is always social time for moms and playtime for kids too!

 Join us next week for a special Junior Chef sponsored by Et Tu!

Spaceships Fly at momstown Movers and Little Scientists Programs

Today momstown KW played with magnets at the Little Scientists portion of momstown Movers.

We used paper cut out in the shape of spaceships and decorated them.

Then we attached a paperclip to one end before picking them up with a magnet. The results was a magical, flying spaceship!

And who can resist parachute play! We bounced balls in the parachute and made a tent too. We even floated it in the air and as it landed we all pulled it on top of us like a blanket and pretended to sleep.

Next week at momstown Movers we are looking forward to an energetic morning of moving and grooving with our special guest speaker from Wee Wigglers!
