F–2 Chemical Science: Frog in a Pond

This week, our budding scientists had a delicious way to explore Chemical Science! We investigated how different elements can be combined to create a tasty treat — a chocolate frog in a jelly pond.

Students discovered:

• Jelly is a colloid — a mixture where tiny particles are evenly spread throughout a liquid.
• We used heat to dissolve jelly crystals in water, creating a new product: jelly.
• We drew and labeled simple diagrams to show the steps and changes involved.

The best part? We enjoyed eating our very own Frog in a Pond while learning about how materials change when combined.

Stay happy,
