Science activity assignment

Dear Fourth Grade Families,

As your child may have told you, we will be doing a "surprise" science activity later this week, and I have asked each student to bring in some materials. First, EVERY child will need an empty clear plastic bottle with a cap--2 liter bottles or water bottles work best. Second, students are asked to bring one of the following items:

#1-6 vegetable oil (this does not need to be a full bottle, 2 cups should be plenty to share) #7-11 food coloring (this can be one color or several, and whatever is left will be
returned home)
#12-22 coarse salt/pretzel salt (just a cup or two in a ziploc bag should be plenty!)

Students will be keeping our finished "project" and bringing it home to show you! All materials are needed by this Wednesday, Dec. 2nd. Thank you!

Monday, November 9th
