For our first Science Club of the school year, we investigated various chemical reactions! The students followed instructions to make their own elephant’s toothpaste, where they mixed hydrogen peroxide, yeast, and warm water together to see a chemical reaction coming out of the plastic bottle. They also investigated various endothermic and exothermic chemical reactions, finishing with The Screaming Jelly Baby where a jelly baby is added to potassium iodate once melted to a liquid form.
Competitions will start to run alongside each other over the coming weeks, where students will be chosen for their effort and good work for prizes later in the year.
Information on Science Club activities, competition winners and the links to other activities can be found on the students Science Club google classroom, which all students who attend can access once they have accepted the invite.
Well done to all the students who came along this week, and we look forward to seeing you again next week for more investigations!
