Today we expanded on an accidental finding that the children discovered while engaged in their Q-tip and coffee filter paintings. One of the children spilt some of the coloured water onto the plastic table cover and the water droplet stayed intact. They then tried using their finger and the Q-tip to move the droplet and it would stretch out slightly and then become a rounded droplet again. Today we put out the same coloured water, plastic table cover and large eye droppers as a provocation to see what the children would do. Would they remember what happened with the droplets last time? At first it was all about the exploration on how to manipulate the droppers, how to squeeze the bulb and then how to get the water to stay in the dropper. After many attempts and some verbal coaching we had more and more successful moments of capturing water and then squirting it onto the table.
