We had such a great time on Science Friday this week! We brought gummy worms back to life!!!! (Insert evil laugh!)
Check out these pictures!
First, we drew our predictions.
Then we mixed our secret ingredient (baking soda) in water and added the worms. We let them soak for about 15 minutes.
While our worms were soaking in their bath, we filled clear cups with
Re-activator Potion (vinegar.)
We carefully took the worms from their bath and placed them in the clear cups.
At first, all we saw were bubbles - not much movement (except in a few exceptions!)
We watched and watched and watched! Finally, I decided to "help" them along a bit. I went around and added a bit more of the bath liquid to each clear cup, making sure to get some of the baking soda.
The class went wild! The liquid bubbled up and over the top. The worms danced and danced! Sorry. I didn't get a good picture of this. I was too busy saving the iPads we were using to take pictures!
