Today we searched through the science book together to choose which experiment we would like to explore. We decided on the Potion Lab.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis one looks fun\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c It\u2019s the best\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c I am excited will ours look like that\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

We took turns to gather all the materials and set them on the table. Before we started we made some predictions what\u00a0 <\/span>do you think will happen if we mix vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. A few of the children made predictions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c it fizzes\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMagic potion\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

First of all we added vinegar to make it half full. We then used our fine motor skills and chose between a droplet or a syringe to squeeze in<\/span>\u00a0some food colouring. We used our pincer grip to add some glitter and then added a large spoonful of bicarbonate of soda. We then mixed the potion and watched for the reaction of the ingredients mixing together. The children were curious and stayed focused throughout the experiment sharing their thought and ideas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201c it\u2019s working<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWow it\u2019s fizzing\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nearly at the top\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBubbles\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to explode\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLook at this potion\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c The colours are mixing together and changing colour.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c it\u2019s so cool\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

.The children were fascinated by the reactions and they continued to try out their own experiment \u00a0using a variety of small and big jars and adding different amounts of ingredients and watching their own eruptions. Lots of fun and laughter was had<\/span><\/p>\n

\nWe came to the conclusion the best and foamiest experiment was adding fairy liquid to it.
