When Chemistry and Earth Science Meet Art and Texture

While using materials that are readily found around our house and this lesson plan from Kinderart.com,  the girls discovered a relationship between science and art.  While using watercolors and salt, we discussed that  salt is a mineral made up of  inorganic elements named sodium and chloride and is found in the earth as well as in the oceans, seas, and lakes.  They were also fascinated by the chemical reaction that took place after sprinkling the salt on the wet watercolors, masha Allah.
