melting chocolate with the sun
it worked!
the pine needle burned in half immediately
they also tried it on dead leaves and bugs
whole green leaf
it was so neat to see the smoke rising from it
leaf with holes burned into it
This semester we're study Astronomy in Science. After learning and writing about The Sun, the kids (and daddy) put what they learned to the test. They had fun with a magnifying glass, chocolate, dead leaves, bugs, green leaves, and pine needles. I love to see the kids REALLY 'get it'. They love doing projects and I know they remember things much better when they are put into action.
each week they write down facts they've learned
and illustrate the sun/planet
VENUS:
Venus has a ton of volcanoes on it so the kids did
an experiment to see how something can go from a
solid to a liquid, and then back to a solid again.
(To understand how the rocks can melt down and
become lava)
melted butter
becoming solid once more

This is a great activity. We'll have to try that sometime. But no way will I let them burn up any of my beloved and treasured chocolate! :-) Your school is so fun.
