Science Fun: 5 Everyday Science Experiments
Kids are born researchers. (Yours have probably asked "why" 14 times already today!) Entertain them and illustrate basic scientific concepts with five easy experiments -- no Ph.D. required.
Peter Ardito
Mystery Markers
Materials
- Bowl of water
- Paper towels, cut into strips
- 3 or more different markers, including black (non-primary colors work best)
The Method Draw a wavy line an inch from the bottom of each towel strip, using a different color pen on each. (Older kids should note which color is on which strip.) Dip each strip into the water so that the bottom edge of the paper towel is submerged, but not the line of ink; hold in place as the water creeps up the towel. The ink marks will spread, revealing the different dyes that make up each color.

In a previous article, another poster had mentioned how you can click on "print" (the blue link located next to "save" and "comment") and then "print all slides" (it won't automatically start printing then, I think you'd have to hit "print" again). You'll then see all slides on one page; you just have to scroll down to read the whole thing. Hope that helps.

Hope that helps.
