Ok, so not really. Hey, not every crafty idea works
out. If you’re looking for paint that bubbles out of control, try the fizzy water colors. Really. It works much better. While the popping candy explodes in
your mouth, it certainly doesn’t on paper. But, what it does do is make a
musical noise (at least if you mix it with water in a foil cupcake tin).
Instead of ditching the activity and marking it off as a failed art experiment,
I went with a sensory approach.
Sensory, when used in reference to an art project,
typically means getting tactile and exploring textures. You know, adding sand
to finger paint, playing with squishable clay or some other hands-on play
project. This time we’re going with a different sense – hearing. Other than the
almost-silent swish of the brush or splat of a little hand pressing into finger
paint, art is often very quiet. While the pop candy doesn’t really add to the
visual look of the painting, it does make it sound anything but silent. You
know the noise that it makes inside of your head when you eat the candy? It’s that
same noise, but in water color paint.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
·
Pop rocks candy
·
A foil cupcake/muffin tin (or line cups
with kitchen foil)
·
Water
·
Food coloring
·
A paintbrush
·
Paper
Here’s What to Do:
1. Put
a pinch of pop rocks into each section of the muffin tin. You can also use
foil-covered cups. Why foil? The stiff metallic nature of it makes a perfect
sounding board for the rocks to pop against—i.e., it makes it noisier.
2. Drip
a few drops of food coloring onto the rocks. Use one color per compartment.
3. Add
water and listen for the noise!
4. Paint
onto the paper. This is just like using regular water colors.
Explore and experiment with different surfaces instead
of the foil. Compare the noises that the rocks make. You can also try dropping
the candy onto a foil-covered piece of cardboard, and then add the water onto
to it to make the fizz.

Screaming can give us the impression of being powerful, and that the situation is under control. But we are sending a message of lack of patience and tolerance. So shouting at our students may tell them that they are doing it wrong! This leads them to believe that they are not living up to our expectations, when we wanted them to obey. The solution? The screams block essential parts of the students' brains. Which is an obstacle to learning.
