Ducklings Science: change of colors

Last thursday we did a science activity by dyeing white fluffy balls (cotton wool) and ‘playmais’ with purple and green food colouring, to see the change i.e. how the material soaks up the colour, turning a normal white object into a grape! All the children were sitting nicely and so focused on during this activity and they also loved touching and observing the change of color of the white objects into dark green and purple color. Finally, we put all the colored balls on a piece of paper and put on green leaves as a bunch of grapes!

We have been working on the following Lpfö goals:

Develop their understanding of science and relationships to nature, as well as knowledge of plants, animals and also simple chemical processes and physical phenomena.

Develop their ability to listen, reflect and express their own views and try to understand the perspectives of others.
