Science--Saturation and Solubility

This week in science we researched and experimented with saturation.  We are learning that a solution is saturated when as much solid material as possible has dissolved in the liquid.  We used both Epsom and Kosher salts to carry out this investigation and are learning that solubility can vary from substance to substance.  As we were shaking the bottles that contained our salt solutions we listened to some "shake" music and had a great time!

Last week, we explored the concept of density.  We learned that less dense solutions form layers on more dense solutions.  We used colored liquids to help us understand and demonstrate this concept.
