Experiment Explorers at Library

Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent

Science is so mysterious. There were 15 children from five to eight years old who discovered how amazing creating science experiments can be at Experiment Explorers at Vegreville Centennial Library on August 15.

The first experiment the children learned how to make was Color Changing Flowers where Library Programmer, Calina Sokalski asked the children what color they wanted to dye their flower and then she placed the flower in a vase with food coloring in water. If a person cut flowers at an angle, they seem to observe the water better. Then a person just has to wait and the flower will eventually drink the water with food coloring in it and turn to that color.

The next experiment involved making Elephant Toothpaste outside of the library where Summer Program Assistant, Rylan Langkow showed the children how by using different ingredients with yeast, they could create a large tube of toothpaste. This project went over the container at certain points.

After this, the children learned how to make Fizzy Dough and Snow Storm in a Jar. This program was part of the TD Summer Reading Program at the Library.
