Wave Bottle

Hello CDS friends!

Sometimes in our science lesson, I like to show you how to make fun things using materials that can be found around your house. Remember the Halloween sensory bottles and the battery powered Christmas lights? Today, I would like to show you how to make a “wave bottle,” also known as an “ocean in a bottle.”  Wave bottles can be very calming to watch if you are upset or frustrated. And we all have those feelings sometimes! Wave bottles are also just fun to move around in your hands! Click on the link below and make a wave bottle with me!  Or you can just watch and maybe make one this summer!

If you would like to make this activity into a scientific experiment, you could create the wave bottle using different types of oil (for example, canola oil, coconut oil, olive oil, baby oil, etc.) and see what happens! Remember, different types of oil have different densities.

Here are some links for other fun things you can make from household materials:

Rainbow Milk

Hi CDS friends & family! This week I chose to expand upon something I did earlier this year at school. Remember the milk explosion demonstration?  I decided to try it again, but this time I will be using a baby swimming pool instead of a small tray! Watch closely for a new twist at the end!  Click on the link below to see what happens!

That was an example of 2 chemical reactions. The first reaction was the soap reacting and chasing the fat in the milk, and the second was the vinegar reacting with the baking soda and forming lots and lots of carbon dioxide bubbles.  How could we change this scientific experiment?  I used whole milk in this demonstration.  How about trying it with 1% or 2% milk? Or heavy cream or even water? Make a prediction each time and compare the results!

Looking Ahead: Wave Bottle

For our last science activity of the school year, I thought it would be fun for you to do an activity while I do it!  Next week, I will be making an ocean in a bottle, also known as a wave bottle. The supplies you will need for next week’s activity include:

  • An empty plastic water or soda bottle with lid
  • Water
  • Blue or green food coloring
  • Cooking oil or baby oil
  • Funnel (optional but extremely helpful)
  • An adult may also want a glue gun or strong glue to adhere the lid on tight!

Join me again for science on May 27, and we can create a wave bottle together!  If you cannot make a wave bottle with me next week, please do still watch so you can create one during your summer vacation.
