To celebrate British Science Week, Year 2 had a special visit from Science Buddies! The children dressed up as scientists and carried out lots of interesting experiments.
In their first experiment, the children used pipettes to mix vinegar and food colouring with bicarbonate of soda. This caused the powder to fizz up and create some lovely rainbow bubbles. 🫧
The children then mixed vinegar and food colouring with washing up liquid and adding bicarbonate of soda to create a chemical reaction. The children said it was like a volcano erupting. 🌋
The final observational experiment involved diffusion. The colouring from the skittles melted and diffused through the warm water to create a rainbow effect. 🌈
