Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum in your Hair!!

Everyone has had a the tragic experience of getting stuck in a stick situation, but its even worse when it deals with your hair! Lucky for all of us LaToya and I have figured out how to get gum out of your hair!!

My hypothesis is that that peanut butter will take both gums out of each type of hair, because of the oil that is in peanut butter.

Things needed:

Peanut Butter

Vinegar

Rubbing Alcohol

Sugarless Gum

Bubble Gum

Colorless/"Real" Hair

Colored/ "Fake" Hair

First Step:

Chew both types of gums!

Second Step:
Put both types of gums in both sets of hair.

Step 3:

Apply peanut butter to the hair.
Peanut butter removed sugar free gum from "real" hair.

Trying to get out bubble gum from "real" hair!

IT WORKED!!!!

The peanut butter will remove gum of both types in the "real"/colorless hair!

The peanut butter removed the sugarless gum from the "fake" hair; however it will not remove the bubble gum from the "fake" hair.

PEANUT BUTTER WILL NOT REMOVE FROM "FAKE"/COLORED HAIR!!!!!

Hair soaking in vinegar with gum already in it! Remove hair from the vinegar and began trying to get the gum out.

Trying to get the gum free from the "real" hair.

With the vinegar neither the sugar free gum or bubble gum would come out!!!!

Trying to work the sugar free gum out of the "fake"/colored hair.

Could not get ethier piece out of the "fake"/colored hair with vinegar.

In fact, using the vinegar on the "fake"/colored hair made it worse. In alcohol took the sugar free gum out of the "real"/colorless hair. Did not remove the bubble gum from the "real"/colorless hair. The alcohol did not remove the sugar free gum from the "fake"/colored hair nor did it remove the bubble gum.
Finish Product:
Conclusion is that the oil from the peanut butter allows the gum to be removed from hair easier!

How the ear works

Parents just a Reminder

We are currently talking about the human body and how our body parts have different jobs. We are learning this by a lot of hands on experiments, and these can be found in your child's book. Please feel free to do these experiments again with your child. This would be a great review and perfect opportunity for your child to share what they have learned.

The end of the year is approaching very fast, and I wanted to take this time to tell you what a pleasure and enjoyment your children have been. Also, I wanted to thank you for all your participation and support!

Thank you ,
Miss Kayla

Learn about the Ear

Inside the ear: As sound enters the ear, the eardrum vibrates. This in turn makes tiny bones vibrate and the vibration passes to the inner ear, which then sends signals to the brain, along the ear's nerve.

When a sound enters your ears, it is changed into a signal. This travels to your brain, and you hear the sound. We will demonstrate how you can build a model ear to see how your ears do this.

What you will need: piece of card, cardboard tube, flashlight, plastic wrap, tape, rubber band, sheet of paper


Step 1: Strech the plastic wrap over the end of the tube. Then secure it with a rubber band.

Step 2: Roll the sheet of paper to a cone. Tape it together so that it does not unroll.

Step 3: Push the small end of the cone into the open end of the cardboard tube. Tape it in place.
Step 4. Stand the card up. Lay the tube in front of it.Shine the flashlight on the plastic wrap so that a spot of light appears on the card.

Step 5: Shout or sing loudly into the cone. The spot of light will shake very fast!!
