We did a neat science experiment to explore the properties of light.
Each Bunny got a sheet of photo sensitive paper and could put four objects on it. We took them outside and placed them in the bright sum for about 5 minutes. When we brought them in, they looked like the photo below. Each item had left a shadow and the surrounding paper was very pale blue.
Each child removed the objects and immersed the paper in water to develop it.
In the following few minutes, the paper turned dark blue and the places where the objects had been stayed light.
Exactly how and why the paper changed was a bit beyond their understanding, but the main point was that God gave us light and light can change things in our world. Everybody could clearly see change happening on their paper. Science can be very exciting at the preschool level!
