Experiments
The children in Year 1-6 had an exciting morning getting involved in a range of experiments last Thursday. They had the opportunity to observe and take part in a variety of experiments, including elephant’s toothpaste, lemon volcanoes and fireworks in a jar. The children had great fun getting a little bit messy whilst learning about the reasons behind the different reactions that they explored. The students in Years 5 and 6 also got to explore how to use Morse Code to communicate with one another.
Assembly
British Science Week started with a bang, as some of the Senior students shared a range of exciting experiments with the Junior students during assembly. Further to this, the Year 9 students explained the importance of STEM in our everyday lives and introduced this year’s British Science Week theme, connections.
Mad Science Demo
The children in EYFS-Year 6 had a fantastic afternoon, watching the Mega Mixtures demonstration by Mad Science. They were amazed by the different physical and chemical reactions that Professor Whizzkid shared with them, including the exciting bang at the end which was caused by the balloon (filled with the hydrogen gas that was created) being set on fire! Overall, they loved the show and can’t wait for another next year!
