Remember our blog post all about our science topic of ‘Solids, Liquids and Gases’?
We told you all about our cool experiements and our very sucessful bathbomb business. When Miss King and Mrs Buchanan-Coutts asked us what we would like to spend our profits on we decided we’d like to book a mad scientist to take over our classrooms and turn them into laboratories! Well on Wednesday we got exactly that…
Robin and Lucy from the Edinburgh International Science Festival arrived bright and early and unpacked their van of exciting experiments! We were amazed when we entered our classroom all set up for some super science and eagerly put on our goggles, gloves and aprons before our safety briefing!
We worked in groups to complete experiments on different chemical reactions and test whether different liquid and powders were acids or alkali! We discussed the chemical reaction that happens when a party popper goes off and then Robin and Lucy showed us their gigantic version of a party popper that created a burst of heat, light and sound in our classroom! We were very impressed!
This was a great way to revisit our learning and experience working in a real laboratory! We had a fantastic day!
If you are interested in learning more about science or seeing some really cool experiments the Edinburgh Science Festival 2014 runs during the Easter holidays from the 5th until the 20th of April, you can find out more about the events they will have on at http://www.sciencefestival.co.uk/
You must of hoped you were there. It was so AMAZING!
It was awsome,you should have seen the giant party popper 🙂
That was awesome . I would really like to do that again.
FIZZ,BOOM…BANG was absolutely amazing especially when they did the small party popper the the massive one 🙂
Wish we could do it again !!
It was so fun especialy the giant party popper !!!
You should go to the FIZZ,BANG …BOOM festival if you enjoy science 🙂
Fizz,Bang Boom was amazing we mixed lots of cemicals, there was a massive explosion of fire. The woman used a candle,pump and a lighter she used the lighter to light up the candle then she put the lid on container and used the pump as soon as she pumped the container. Then the container exploded and fire came out it was awsome.
We thought the big party popper would set the class on fire when it exploded. We learned so much that day.It was so much fun.
That was a great day we will NEVER forget that!!
It was AMAZING all the bangs, fizzes and FIRE
The massive party popper with FIRE was the best
This was really fun. Thanks Robin and Lucy.
