Over the course of the term Primary 1 and 2 have been learning about Earth Science and chemical reactions. Our young learners decided we should trial our experiment before we conduct the BIG EXPLOSION of our own paper mache volcanos later this term. We listed the equipment needed, wrote up our methods, and predicted what would happen when bicarbonate soda is mixed with vinegar and detergent. Our predictions were CORRECT! Albeit less of an EXPLOSION and more like a slow bubble.
Oh well, back to the drawing board……….
