Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
A clear, unbreakable cup, water, and a small amount of cooking oil.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Adult pours a little water into the cup and adds a little oil.
- Look through the side and notice where each liquid settles.
- Adult gently swirls the cup; watch how the liquids look immediately and after they settle again.
Adult pours and handles the cup throughout; do not drink the mixture. Wipe up spills immediately.
