Preschool STEAM (for children ages 2-6) is all about\u00a0having fun with science, math and art!\u00a0 There is no right or wrong way for children to experiment \u2013 the fun and learning comes from the doing!\u00a0 Early childhood research shows us that little hands and minds learn best when at play.<\/p>\n

For our\u00a0July\u00a0STEAM adventure, we focused on creating an eruption ~ we called it Wizard’s Brew<\/em>.\u00a0 We sought to create a chemical reaction by mixing vinegar and baking soda.\u00a0 For good measure, we\u00a0also included\u00a0some detergent and liquid watercolors.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Question<\/h1>\n

Does combining vinegar and baking soda create a chemical reaction?<\/p>\n

What happens when you add baking soda to vinegar?\u00a0 Does anything change when you add dishwashing detergent and liquid watercolors to the mix?<\/p>\n
