What We Did This Week
June 9 2025
Today, our stars had a special guest to help us kickoff our Ooey Gooey Science Week! We had such a good time learning about science and all of the neat ways we can make slime! We can’t wait to explore all of the ways to have fun with this activity!

Our stars turned into real chemists this week as they dove into a hands-on experiment during Ooey Gooey Science Week: Fizzy Fun with Baking Soda and Vinegar! Using trays filled with brightly colored baking soda, children carefully used pipettes and spoons to drop vinegar on top—and watched with delight as fizzy bubbles danced and popped! Some children experimented with mixing colors, while others explored how different amounts of vinegar created bigger or smaller reactions. What were we learning? • Chemical Reactions: Children discovered what happens when an acid (vinegar) meets a base (baking soda), all through safe and simple materials. • Scientific Thinking: They made predictions, tested ideas, and adjusted their techniques as they explored. • Fine Motor Skills: Using pipettes and spoons helped strengthen little hands and build coordination. • Cause and Effect: The immediate fizzy reaction helped our stars connect actions with outcomes—and inspired lots of curious questions!
