In science this week, we will be learning about light and sound energy. Some of the lessons are hands on and I hope will excite the kids. We will be using toilet paper tubes (if you have any, please send them in) and wax paper to discover vibrations. I have a cool screaming balloon trick to teach them that involves vibrations as well as discovering chemiluminescence, a chemical reaction that produces light without heat, better known in glowsticks. I have even cut one open to see how it works on the inside. We will be doing several glow stick experiments as well as making Glow Water from old highlighters, and bending light using mirrors and flashlights. The kids don't know it but they are even going to get some fun items that they can take home from the lessons.
