Elephant's Toothpaste in the Lab

We had the coolest visit to the science lab. It was part of our unit about solids, liquids, and gases.
We all had to wear safety glasses. Mrs McTavish was our expert scientist. 
William was the first assistant. He got to help Mrs McTavish create the mixture.  
We loved watching the elephant's toothpaste oozing out of the bottle. It started off really fast and high, then it slowed down to a slow ooze.
It sure did make a lot!!!
We decided to do it again, but this time we added black food colouring instead of pink. Toby was the assistant. 
It was a great reaction too....
...so we did it again. You can see from Mrs McTavish's face just how much she loves science! And we loved her enthusiasm as we visited the lab!

It was such a terrific afternoon, we can't wait to go back to the lab again!!!!
Check out our videos to see the reactions actually happen.
