Kinetic Sand

We made Kinetic Sand yesterday.  It was an interesting experiment for us to try.  You need sand, dawn dish soap, water, and corn starch.  You mix them together and wait a couple of hours for the chemical reaction to take place.  Through trial and error we finally got the right substance and were able to play with this sand.  We built a tower.  Now you might be asking what can I use this sand for.  Well you can challenge the students/kids by having them create or engineer structures to see how long they last.  You could link this with a book about Egypt and have the students build a pyramid.  There are several different options for Kinetic Sand.  Let your exploration begin.  Here is the link for the Kinetic Sand: http://www.growingajeweledrose.com/2015/01/homemade-kinetic-sand.html
