Not one for the queasy! The most recent experiment conducted at S1 Science club was a heart dissection. For gruesome pictures, click HERE!

Adding together some oil, some coloured water and some Alka-Seltzer, and you can make your own lava lamp. For pictorial evidence, click HERE!

A simple dash of some chemicals, then set alight! Fire writing was this week’s superb experiment at the S1 Science club and our pupils once again thoroughly enjoyed their experience!

More pictures are available HERE.

Last week in S1 Science clubs, our young scientists completed a famous and fun experiment; Elephant’s Toothpaste! By combining a range of chemicals, an extravagant and surprising reaction takes place!

More photos can be found HERE.

This week our Science club for S1 pupils completed flame tests, where different chemicals are seen to burn with different colours. This is particularly used in analytical chemistry to find the identity of unknown solutions. Pictures of the pupils completing the experiments are shown HERE.

Our popular lunch-time Science club for S1 pupils is set to restart after the summer break. Running in two six-week blocks and taking place on a Wednesday at lunchtime, pupils will complete a set of fun experiments that are not included in the standard curriculum, such as making bath bombs and fire writing.

The dates for the Science club are as follows:

Block 1 – Wednesday 6th September to 11th October

Block 2 – Wednesday 10th January to 14th February.

Pupils are invited to attend as many sessions as they like; they can even bring their lunch.

See Miss Regan (Science 13) if you require more details.
