As part of our S.T.E.M. leadership activities, we conducted an experiment to test if oil and water mix.\u00a0 We discovered that they don’t mix due to the molecular structure of water and oil being different.\u00a0 In our first attempt, bicarbonate of soda was not the right kind of activator so we repeated the experiment using alka-seltzer as the activator and it was great to see the reactions developing inside our own lava lamps!\u00a0 We used our collaboration, communication and creativity skills.\u00a0 We’re going to share our learning with other children in the school during Fun Friday time and conducting the experiment with them.<\/p>\n
