THE
Elephant’s toothpaste! Science Day
BUBBLING OVER On the day before half-term, Year 2 had a Halloween science day. Children were given different hints about the experiments. Sometimes it was a picture, or the equipment list, which we then used to ask lots of questions about what was to come. We also made predictions about what we thought might happen and why. We had a fantastic day, filled with awe and excitement! The first experiment looked at the reaction between bicarbonate of soda and vinegar to create a bubbling, witches' broth. The second was a bit more dangerous, so we had to wear safety goggles. This was very exciting! We observed what happened when making elephant's toothpaste. This involved looking at the reaction between hydrogen peroxide and yeast. This was really fun to watch, as it suddenly shot up out of the bottle! Once we completed each experiment, we went back and answered our questions. We had a brilliant time and we are looking forward to the next science day!
Thanks to Mrs. Yale for the story.
