Gassy Experiments
Our budding young scientists found an experiment on how to blow a balloon up using common kitchen ingredients. They were careful to follow all the instructions. Later we tried to see if the gas produced by combining vinegar and bicarbonate of soda could put out a candle.
Making Celtic cakes
It is always great to see students following their interests. Some boys found a recipe for Celtic cakes in a book and wanted to make some for the class. We needed to convert the recipe from imperial measurements to the metric system. Everyone enjoyed the warm cakes with a drizzle of maple syrup.
Circles make the world go 'round
One student was curious about pi. We decided to find out the relationship between the radius, diameter and circumference of a circle to find out where the calculation for pi came from.
