WITH THE KIDS, YOU MAY BE LOOKING FOR CREATIVE WAYS TO NOT
HEAR "I’M BORED" OR GO STIR
CRAZY.
CRAZY. >> Tati: TODAY, WE TURN TO
CARRIE DOLMAN, FROM LITTLE GUY
DETROIT.COM FOR IDEAS.
>> WE HAVE SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS,
CRAFTS, ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING
YOU CAN DO AT HOME WITH THE KIDS
TO KEEP THEM ACTIVE AND DO FUN
THINGS WITH THEM AS A FAMILY.
SO TODAY, SCIENCE CLASS.
SIDE NOTE, I AM NOT A SCIENTIST.
BUT THIS ONE WE HAVE SEEN GO
VIRAL, AND NOT BECAUSE IT IS SO
TIMELY IN THAT WE’RE ASKING OUR
KIDS TO WASH THEIR HANDS SO
MUCH.
MUCH. AND A LOT OF IT IS SHOWING THAT
GOOD VISUAL AS TO WHY.
WE HAVE WATER AND PEPPER, SIMPLE
INGREDIENTS.
INGREDIENTS. PEPPER FLOATS IN WATER.
AND WHAT WE WANT TO ASK THEM TO
DO IS TAKE THEIR FINGER, A PLAIN
FINGER, AND PUT IT IN THE WATER.
NOTHING HAPPENS.
NOTHING HAPPENS. NOW, TAKE A DIFFERENT FIGURE AND
PUT IT IN DISH SOAP OR HAND
SOAP, PUT IT IN THE WATER, AND
IMMEDIATELY -- YES, YOU’LL FIND
THAT THE PEPPER ESCAPES TO THE
SIDE AND THAT SHOWS THEM IS THAT
DIRT CANNOT SURVIVE IN HAND SOAP
AND THE SMALLEST AMOUNT OF DISH
SOAP.
SOAP. SO IT’S A GREAT VISUAL FOR THEM
TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON
RIGHT NOW AND WHY WE’RE ASKING
THEM TO WASH SO MANY GERMS OFF
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW. THIS IS CALLED FIREWORKS IN A
JAR.
JAR. SO FAIR WARNING, HAVEN’T DONE IT
YET.
YET. SO LET’S SEE HOW IT GOES.
WE HAVE A JAR FULL OF WATER, A
LITTLE BIT OF VEGETABLE OIL ON
TOP.
TOP. AND WE’LL TAKE FOOD COLORING AND
DROP IT IN THERE.
♪
♪ PUT ALL THE DIFFERENT COLORS IN.
SEE HOW IT GOES.
MAY HAVE TO GIVE THIS ONE A
MINUTE.
MINUTE. WE’LL COME BACK AND SEE HOW IT
GOES.
GOES. BUT THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU
DO SCIENCE CLASSES AT HOME.
GO OVER HERE.
WE ALL HAVE PENNIES, WHETHER WE
LIKE IT OR NOT, WE HAVE A
THOUSAND PENNIES LAYING AROUND
IN OUR HOUSE AND WALLETS.
SO WE TOOK THEM OUT AND WE’RE
EXPERIMENTING WITH WHICH HOUSE
OLD ITEMS CLEAN PENNIES THE
BEST.
BEST. IN OUR KITCHEN AND REFRIGERATOR,
WE HAVE ALL THESE INGREDIENTS
ALONG WITH DISH SOAP AND WATER.
AND I WOULD SUGGEST LETTING IT
SIT FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND
LETTING THEM GO IN THE LEMON
JUICE.
JUICE. YOU CAN SEE THE RUST AND THINGS
ARE COMING OFF OF THE PENNY.
BUT SIDE NOTE, I HAVE READ THAT
IT’S ACTUALLY THE KETCHUP THAT’S
THE WINNER.
THE WINNER. AND LAST, THIS IS OUR MAGIC MILK
BROUGHT TO YOU BY GUERNSEY, AND
WE GO THROUGH A LOT OF MILK IN
OUR HOUSE SO WE HAVE A LOT ON
HAND.
HAND. SO THIS IS MAGIC MILK.
A FEW DROPS OF FOOD COLORING IN
THERE AND SQUIRT A DROP OR TWO
OF DISH SOAP AND WATCH IT --
ALMOST LOOKS LIKE IT’S GURGLING,
AND MAKING FORMATIONS OUT OF THE
FOOD COLORING.
FOOD COLORING. SO THAT’S OUR SCIENCE CLASS.
I WANT TO END WITH OUR GOOD
FRIENDS AT GUERNSEY, FARMED HERE
LOCALLY AND FAMILY OWNED.
AND THEY’RE GIVING AWAY ONE
YEAR’S WORTH OF MILK ON
LITTLEGUYDETROIT.COM.
