Thank you so much for your amaz...Dear Mrs. Ranney,<br /><br />Thank you so much for your amazing science experiments! I loved the experiment that we had a paper on our chest and we ran while the paper is on our chest, and it stayed the whole time that is so cool. I loved all your experiments. I also learned that if you take a stick and you tie a balloon on it and you take your fingers and hold it the balloons side will be falling because the balloon is heavier then nothing. I hope we are going to have more of your excellent science experiments. How did you find all those perfect experiments did you look it up, or did someone tell you them? I had so much fun learning new things. Thank you for helping us! <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />LironLironnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-66881922907992442372015-03-14T12:02:16.990-07:002015-03-14T12:02:16.990-07:00@Joshua,

Thank you for your reply. I loo...Dear Mrs. Ranney,<br /><br />Thank you for your reply. I looked up density and this experiment to get more information. I was curious. I think that what is happening is that, in the beginning of the experiment, the oil settles above the water because it is less dense than water. The food coloring gets stuck in the oil for a short time. Then, when you add salt, the salt sinks to the bottom of the cup since it is heavier (more dense) than the other two liquids. The salt carries some of the food coloring and oil along with it. The salt dissolves in the water and the oil floats back up which, I think, might be the reason that the food coloring then looks like it is spreading.<br /><br />Thank you for the comment and I would love to know if I am right or, at least, close. <br /><br />I hope to try the salt and ice experiment at home to show my parents and brother and sister. <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />TyTynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-66650337035238398942015-03-05T07:26:11.087-08:002015-03-05T07:26:11.087-08:00@Nic,

I hope you have tried it at home. Please let me know how that went!<br /><br />I'm not really sure how many experiments I've tried, too many to count I think! I enjoyed science a great deal when I was a little girl, and I can remember checking books out of the library about science experiments to try at home. I'm sure the school library has some books like that!<br /><br />I'm looking forward to more science fun with your class!<br /><br />Best,<br />Mrs. RanneyMrs. Ranneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569904843028235217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-53176474006491096602015-03-05T07:14:47.941-08:002015-03-05T07:14:47.941-08:00@Ella,

Thanks for your wonderful comment! I...@Tabitha,<br /><br />Thanks for your wonderful comment! I'm so glad that you have been enjoying science. I loved how such a simple experiment as walking or running with a sheet of paper could demonstrate something important. Do you remember what property of air made the paper stick with you as you ran?<br /><br />I also enjoyed the oil and water experiment. Do you remember why the oil rose to the top? You are right that the salt pulled the dye down into the water because of its density. After the salt dissolved, it allowed the dye to color the water.<br /><br />Have you tried any science experiments at home?<br /><br />All the best,<br />Mrs. Ranney, Queen of Science ;-)Mrs. Ranneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569904843028235217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2633466533683944100.post-65383228153833880492015-03-04T12:18:30.658-08:002015-03-04T12:18:30.658-08:00@Noa,
