There is just time left to organise some Valentine themed science for your classroom.A quick browse of Pinterest brings up HUGE quantities of glitter slime, red hearts and love heart sweetie science so it is well worth having a look yourself.
Just a point in the US they call them conversation hearts and I think the recipe must be different to our love hearts which are made here in the UK by Swizzels
Here are just a couple of ideas I have found that are a little bit different.
The creative people who are Little Bins have a great set of web pages with ideas for love themed science especially this very simple but effective oil and water experiment.
Using the fact that oil and water don't mix, beautiful art can be created with just a couple of ingredients
You will need to use baby oil to get that lovely clear effect and a couple of love themed colours .
The images tell the story - well done to Little Bins for a great idea.
You can find more of their ideas here: https://littlebinsforlittlehands.com
Inspiration Laboratories have a brilliant site with lots of ideas that are just a little bit different but you will also be able to find your favourites there too.
For Valentine's day they have collected lots of ideas which you can find here:
I like their idea of using heat sensitive paper to make bookmarks. There are a couple of suppliers in the UK that sell it. Obviously the pink one works well but our pack also had blue which turns white when warm, green which goes yellow and purple which goes pink. So something for everyone
And finally from The Best Ideas for Kids a brilliantly simple love themed take on our own Art on a Plate. Using full fat milk, a heart shaped cake tin, red food colouring, a little washing up liquid and a cotton bud.
Pour a small amount of milk into the cake tin and add a few drops of colour. Then touch the surface with the cotton bud dipped in the washing up liquid and watch the results. Amazing and well worth getting the video camera out.
here is the link to the Best Ideas website for more ideas
Have fun and enjoy Valentines Day!
