We decided to add one more experiment to our day!
It's "walking water"
saw this idea through pinterest too & got the deets on this blog:

We filled a cup with water & food coloring.
Put a long strip of paper towel into it & then placed an empty cup below with the paper towel ending in the bottom empty cup.
We had to do 2 of course & "race" them (boys will be boys) to see who's filled the fastest.
This was a SLOW process, but fun because they would check back throughout the day to see who's was winning. We'd mark with sharpies occasionally to see where we were at & how far the water had "walked"
This was a couple hours in.
About 4 hours in.
This is overnight, our experiement worked & our water travelled from one cup down to the next.
The boys thought this was pretty cool!
Fun ideas! I may have to steal some these to entertain the kids~ pinterest is great for new and fun ideas. Thanks for sharing! And I hope you have been feeling better!!
