Early Childhood School Students Engage in Remote-Learning Science Experiment
Students had the chance to see how dish soap reacts with food particles to clean dishes.
With a little milk, some pepper, food coloring and dish soap, Early Childhood School students took part in a fun remote science experiment led by Upper School teacher and math department chair Elizabeth O’Shea and Early Childhood School teachers Debbie Radosh and Melaney Balba.
The experiment took place on Zoom, and students had the chance to see how dish soap reacts with food particles to clean dishes. Students filled a plate with milk and added drops of either food coloring or pepper to better see the effect. When a drop of dish soap was added, the soap attached to fat molecules in the milk and caused the food coloring to swirl and spread. Students shared what their dish of milk looked like after the soap caused the chemical reaction.
Early Childhood School students also have weekly online Chapels, meetings with atelierista (art teacher) Isabela Valle, virtual garden and chicken visits with Jennifer Hardison and video classroom time with their homeroom to sing songs, share stories, listen to teachers and connect with friends.
