Walking Water Experiment Tell your child that you are going to perform an experiment that will cause water to

“walk” up paper towels. To help her grasp this concept, ask them what happens when

they wipe up a spill with a paper towel. Talk about how liquid gets sucked up into or

absorbed by the paper towel’s fibers.

Materials

Paper towels, the cheaper, less absorbent the better. Toilet paper works, too.

3 clear jars or glasses

Water

Food coloring (Use two primary colors to learn about color mixing.)

Directions

1

Have your child fill up two of the jars with water. Add food coloring to the two jars.

2

Place the empty jar in between the two jars that are filled with colored water. For the

best results, put each outside jar on top of a book that is equal in thickness. Ask your

child if they know what gravity is? If they get stuck, explain that gravity is a force that

pulls objects toward each other. In this experiment, gravity will help move the water

along faster into the empty jar.

3

Help your child fold a paper towel in half multiple times to make a long skinny strip

that’s about an inch wide. Do it again with another paper towel.

4

Ask him to dip one end of one paper towel strip into a jar filled with colored water and

lay the other end of the strip into the empty jar. Repeat this with the second paper towel

strip. The dry portions of the two paper towels should now meet in the middle jar.

5

Ask your child, “How long do you think it will take before the water walks?” And, “What

color do you think the water will be when it fills the middle jar?” Talk about how color

pigments mix together to form other colors. For example, blue and red make purple.

6

It may take a few minutes or more, before the water mixes into the middle jar! Was

your child’s prediction about how long the process would take correct? Have them

describe what they see.

Art- How to make sidewalk paint

1. Add 1 cup of water to 1 cup of cornstarch or any 1:1 ratio. 2. Mix until there are no clumps of cornstarch and then pour the mixture into the cups of

muffin tin or into small plastic containers. 3. Next add a few drops of food coloring or washable paint to each cup and mix until blended. 4. Any brushes will work to paint!

Recycle paper tubes to make animals, creatures, bracelets, or flowers.
