We watched an amazing video showing New Year's Eve fireworks from around the world. This inspired us to make fireworks with our Big Buddies. We had "a blast" making fireworks by blowing paint with straws.

We did this activity with our Big Buddies as well. This involved filling the jars 3/4 full with water. In a separate bowl the students mixed 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil with drops of food colouring. This solution was added to the water in the jar (without mixing). The students were amazed as they watched the droplets of food colouring explode into fireworks! |
