As part of their cultural week, students from 1st
to 3rd ESO were asked to research, carry out and explain some of the
more interesting experiments that can be found in Science. These experiments
included a corn flour bomb, exploding bubbles, peculiarities of static
electricity and the crushing can experiment.
The idea behind this was to get the students to have a
chance of doing these fun experiments, learn the science applications behind
them (which are based on material they have already covered in class) and to be
able to communicate this information to their peers in a fun way. There was
also another agenda to this…..the plan is that these experiments will be
demonstrated to you, by these students, on Family day!! We plan to set one of
the labs aside as a demonstration area and have a timetable of events planned.
Watch this space for more details…..!!!
Henry and Paula showing how a charged balloon can deflect a thin stream of water.
Divya "burning" paper without the paper actually burning!! How is this possible??
Yashica doing the same as Divya above but with a lot bigger flame. But why doesn't the paper burn?
Below Bhavesh "detonates" the flour bomb constructed by students of 3rd ESO. (Thanks boys and girl).
Finally Isabel and Priyanka make an explosive and bubbly cocktail.
My ears are still ringing!!
