Scented experiments

I added some scent to some of our routine backyard science geared fun!
IN the pics are ice, sea salt, food coloring, baking soda, vinegar, orange extract for scent,  coffee beans, lemons, and various kitchen utensils we have in the yard, measuring cups, etc. We also are starting some water bead squares in the water tables to watch them grow throughout the day outdoors, rather than how we usually grow them overnight inside.

orange extract, sea salt, ice, food coloring, and tongs!



orange scented volcano fun!!

  1. What a great idea to add that sense of smell! I always think to add color but not smell!
