Generation Science visited Luing Primary School, with their workshop Fizz, Boom, Bang! All of the children including pre 5; were to be scientists for the morning. After donning protective gear, the experiments began. The challenge was to make a cool, colourful reaction.
First of all the children had to discover whether liquids were acid, neutral or alkaline, matching up the colour on an indicator chart. After this they then mixed up liquids and powders, making fizzing and colourful potions.
The children learnt lots of scientific language and how to carry out experiments safely and fairly.
All the children had a wonderful learning experience. They were extremely impressed by the demonstration of the big party popper and fizzing experiments!
