The after School science club is proving to be a real success with our children finding that learning can be fun as well as stimulating and motivating. Mr Marrinan and Miss Somers delivered our latest session and the group thoroughly enjoyed the practical experiments. Some tricky scientific concepts were explored using every day objects. We learned how to make and capture carbon dioxide gas, what happens when Mentos are added to cola and what static electricity can do! We also found out how to dissolve egg shells without harming the egg!
Woops! Sometimes surprising things can happen when vinegar and baking soda mix!
James using static electricity to move a cola can
Our wonderful Kirkriggs mums joined in too and were just as excited and involved as their children
James capturing carbon dioxide
Will it go pop?
It's getting bigger!
Liam and his mum inflated a rubber glove with carbon dioxide
We put a towel in place just in case!
James wanted a go at inflating the glove too
He was moving a bubble using static electricity
James was a great budding scientist & listened to instructions very well.
