In the afternoon of Wednesday 15th March all the P7s of Islay and Jura all learned about chemical reactions. The chemical reactions that Mrs Moran talked about are; change of colour, appearance of a solid, different temperature- hot or cold, bubbles, sound and it might move around the water. All the P7 went to do science to see what the High School is like and what the science class is like. We learned that if you sprinkle little bits of iron over a flame of fire it will look like sparklers.
Mrs Moran also taught about sodium which is a metal and showed us what it can do. Sodium is a dangerous product and can be very harmful but what it can do looks very pretty. Mrs Moran put a tiny bit of sodium in the water. ” Everyone stand back!” Mrs Moran said. The sodium whizzed about the water, slowed down and created a pretty pinky purple colour in the water it moved around and in a couple of seconds BANG!
