Hot Crayons!!!




We predicted what would happen if we used a blow dryer on crayons and most children predicted that they would melt.  They were right!  However, we learned 2 new words today.  The wax became so hot that it actually turned into a liquid and made a puddle.  Once we took the blow dryer away the wax became solid again.  We now have it in the freezer and we are waiting to see what happens.  Some children predicted:
1.  It would freeze and turn to ice.
2.  It would be cold
3.  It will stay a solid because it is cold. WOW! Great job Natasha

Some children noticed that it looked like art work or a painting.  Tomorrow we will put it at the painting centre to see if anyone can replicate it!!!  Check back!!  We will post the paintings!!
