Our first 

Super Star Scientist

Paul!

Experiment:  Oil & Water

Objective:  To see if oil dissolves in water to form a solution

First, Paul poured oil into a bottle with colored water.

Next, he shook the bottle to mix the water and oil.

Then we waited and observed…

…and saw the water and oil separate!

Paul taught us that water is heavier than oil so the water settled at the bottom and the oil on top!

Conclusion:  

Though the two seem to mix, when shaken, they separate when the jar is put down.  The oil floats on top because it weighs less.

Great job, Scientist Paul!

You did a SUPER job!!

Thank you to our scientist's special assistants,

his mom and uncle!  Paul's uncle was visiting from Philadelphia…what a treat!
