First pour some water on a plate. We used 1/2 cup but will depend on your plate size.
Next add some pepper.
Then the boys dipped their fingers in the water. Nothing happened. They were looking for a reaction. Kysen noticed the pepper stuck to his hand.
Next they dipped their fingers in dish soap. Then they dipped them in the water. This time the pepper moved to the side of the dish. This was a fun way to talk about cause and effect. The boys were amazed by the result! They wanted to keep doing it!
