Wanted Gingerbread

First, have kids design a paper gingerbread (man, lady, boy, girl, baby, etc.). They can decorate it with colored glue for icing, buttons for candy eyes, etc. 

Next, have kids fill out a wanted poster for their paper cookies. Tell them to be very descriptive about what their cookie looks like. Click here to download!

Then, hang the gingerbread cookies up around the room and collect their wanted posters. Pass the posters back out randomly, making sure each child doesn't have their own mini poster. Kids turn into mini detectives. They have to read the description on the poster and find the missing gingerbread cookie!

Color Changing Milk and Glue!

Variation: Conduct the experiment using whole milk, low fat milk, and water in separate dishes. What worked the best?

Explanation: "You will see that the color doesn't react like it does with the whole milk. Water will get no reaction. The fat and protein molecules in the milk are changed by the soap, causing them to roll around. Once the soap molecules are mixed evenly with the fat and protein, the motion will stop." - Steve Spangler
