Introducing a Thing or 2... ...about mixing.

THINGS: Woo-hoo!

ALL: Ta-da!

There are all kinds of mixing a person can do.

Are you ready to show us, Thing 1 and Thing 2?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Now, solids and liquids behave differently.

So, let's mix some together and see what we see.

We'll start with some solids; these balls, red and blue.

Thing 1, you take red and Thing 2, you take blue.

Now, please mix them together and see what they do.

The red balls stay red and the blue balls stay blue, and to separate them is quite easy to do.

Thing 1 takes the red balls, Thing 2 takes the blue.

Now, what if try mixing liquids instead?

Thing 2, you take blue paint.

Thing 1, you take red.

If you mix them together, let's see what we see.

Whoa.

Whoa.

The red and blue mix to make purple.

Wowee!

And so now, my Things, here's what I'd like you to do.

Can you take back your red paint and take back your blue?

Huh?

Huh?

The paint is now purple.

It's not red or blue.

To separate liquids is harder to do.

Uh-huh!

Uh-huh!

Why don't you try some mixing, like Things 2 and 1?

Ask a grown-up to help you explore mixing fun!
