Today some of our little scientists decided they would like to do a soap experiment.<\/p>\n

We started off with our soap moulds, a plastic bag, a beaker, transparent soap base, food colouring and of course some scent. The children thought the soap base looked like crystals and noticed it was colourless with no smell \u00a0\u201c We talked about what the main function of soap is, the children know it is used for cleaning and how they use it – \u201cI wash all my germs off at night with soap, so I\u2019m clean\u201d
\nNext we opened up the bag and placed the transparent soap base into it. The children chose what colour and scent to put into their soap. Some wanted the peach scent in it \u201cMmm I like fruity smells\u201d I explained that all hand soap starts\u00a0the same and then the scents and colours are added. We popped the bag with the soap scent and colour into the hot water. The children were excited to see the soap base melt and combine with the scent and colouring. \u201cLook it\u2019s gone slimey it\u2019s melted\u201d
\nThe children were able to follow a set of instructions and used our pipettes to \u00a0fill their chosen mould. <\/p>\n

What shape would you pick – we had lots of choices: I want a dolphin soap for my bath\u201d \u201c No I think penguins are the best sea animal so I want that soap\u201d The children are excited to take their soaps home and try them out. I wonder if the soap will make the bath water smell like \ud83c\udf51 ?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
