While day one's primary focus was Acid and Bases and pH factor, the children also set up an experiment to be observed after two days i.e today. The children had immersed eggs in four types of solutions: water(being the control), soap solution, cola and vinegar to understand their effect on the eggs. Today they realised that vinegar completely dissolved the outer shell and cola completely stained the egg and also induced major cracks in the shell. The soap solution left the egg with a soapy feel and the control of course was to show the relative effects of other solutions.
Day two's observatory experiment was set up to show how different types of bacteria multiply. So the children coughed, spat, made their thumb impressions and also gave their hair sample to understand the property of bacteria to rapidly multiply and also how different types of bacteria form different colonies. The multiplied bacteria and different colonies were observed today. The children also learnt the super absorbent gel present in baby diapers and how that type of gel can be used to make aquaponics.
The focus objective of time was what the children mainly worked upon. they made a sand clock and a water clock and all on their own.
