Lemonade in a Ziplock Baggie -- Yes Indeed!

Remember Great-Grandma’s old-fashioned lemonade? Here’s your chance to bring back some of the past and let your child enjoy that delicious homemade taste of summer from the days before the freeze-dried "lemon drink" mix. The best part is that your preschooler can make it all by himself.

This activity is a great way for your child to enjoy warm weather and cool down with a homemade refreshment, or to remember the fun of summer when the season is over. Besides having fun, he'll be conducting a basic science experiment. Science is about studying change. By following a set of procedures, making predictions, and observing results, your budding scientist will be dabbling in the scientific method!
