P6 had a great day at Broxburn Academy for their science day. They took part in three experiments.
For the first experiment, the class made o-wings – they were measuring to see the average distance they took to fly depending on how big the circumference was of the wings.
For the second and third experiments, P6 got to experience being in the science labs. They were given a talk about lab safety, then got to use the bunsen burners, studying different chemicals and the colours they made under the flame!
The last experiment consisted of making a rocket, simply using an seltzer and either hot or cold water, to measure how quickly it would take off!
When P6 returned to class, they made posters labelling the importance of lab safety, so that when they go to high school next year, they are well aware of the importance of lab safety. Well done P6!
