We used color waters and blew the the color water droplets into each other to see what colors they turned into. The kids loved it.

Used this today with my preschool kids. Many had fun watching the water break apart and go back together. I added food coloring to the water and used freezer paper ??

I just tried this out myself and had fun! Try adding some color to the experiment by drawing on the waxed paper with markers and then watch as the water drops blow through the colors and absorb them. Fascinating!

Hi! I'm about to launch a year-long science course for young kids at some of the local schools. I love this idea! It will be a PERFECT fun activity to end the "Surface tension" lesson with! We'll be doing some fun experiments to bring the concept home to the kids, and this is just what I needed! Thanks so much Erica!

I have to try it out - wind races have been popular here, but we haven't done them with water.
