Water-crayons
Jr. scientist A wanted to do an experiment with swishing water in a bottle. We started out trying to make a tornado in a bottle where you tape two bottle caps together facing opposite directions and poke a hole through them both. When you attach the caps to two bottles (one with water) and swirl the bottles, you're supposed to get what looks like a tornado. Unfortunately, our tape didn't hold and we were left with two separate bottles with holes in the cap. So what do you do with bottles with holes in the cap? Make water-crayons of course! When you turn the bottles upside-down and squeeze, you get a steady stream of water that you can use to "draw" with. We had a lot of fun drawing shapes, people, animals, or just scribbling (Jr. scientist A also had fun "drawing" on my feet every chance he got!). What a fun accidental experiment.
