Slime!

24th November 2019Caroline Kennedy

One of the things all children seem to love is making and playing with gooey, sticky slime.  So after numerous requests we decided to make slime in Science Club last week.

Here are some photos of one of the Scientists playing with her slime at home.

CREST Awards

8th October 2019Caroline Kennedy

CREST is a scheme that inspires young people to think and behave like Scientists and Engineers. In Science Club the children are now striving to achieve a Star CREST Award.  They have to complete 8 challenges to achieve the award.

Brilliant Bubbles

Last week, the children had lots of fun when they explored liquids, gases and bubbles.  They were challenged to make bubbles of different sizes, shape and colour – the children then made their own bubble mixture and bubble wands (using pipe cleaners, straws and string).

Confusing Cans

This week, the children started thinking about weights, ramps and investigation.  Each group was given 3 cans with the labels removed (beans, beans and sausages & tomato soup).  They had to carry out an investigation to find out which can held what food and whether what was in the can affected how far it would roll.

They felt the weight of the cans, shook them to try and work out what was inside each one and then rolled them down a ramp to see how far each would roll.  There was a lot of initial discussion about whether more solid food e.g. the beans and sausages would roll further than the liquid soup, each group sharing their thoughts (predictions).

The children repeated the exercise a few times to ensure their results were more accurate and interestingly all groups found that the can with the soup in rolled the shortest distance.  Two groups found that beans was next with the more solid beans and sausages rolling the furthest.

Well done!  Roll on next week!

Science Club started with a bang!  The young Scientists added Mentos sweets to Diet Coke and stood back to see the explosion caused by the chemical reaction.

Exploring Sound

The young Scientists explored the science of sound today when they made homemade harmonicas.  What a noisy lot they are!

Eggciting Experiments!

6th February 2019L Welsh

Did you know you can stand on eggs without breaking them?

This week in Science Club we tested this theory and found a dozen eggs could support our weight. We discovered that the curved design of an egg spreads our weight evenly which means the eggs won’t break when we stand on them.

Science Challenge

21st November 2018Caroline Kennedy

Luke, inspired by the exciting experiments we have been doing in Science Club, created a blue sparkly glitter globe at home which he shared with his friends at our weekly club.

Luke has been doing more experimenting at home and has now brought in his Solar system to share with us.

Fellow Scientists, you are invited to share your experiments with us too!

Well done Jayla, you took up the challenge!

Spaghetti & Marshmallow Structures

20th November 2018Caroline Kennedy

In Science Club today, the children learnt about building strong structures.  Lots of towers, such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris,  are thick at the base and thinner at the top, to stop them toppling over.

The children were challenged to make a structure using only spaghetti and marshmallows.  They learnt that one piece of spaghetti is not very strong, but if you use lots of pieces you can build a strong, tall tower.

Look at what they built.

Foaming Monsters / Volcanic Eruption

9th October 2018Caroline Kennedy

The Scientists used plastic bottles and green card to make monsters. They then added bicarbonate of soda (alkali) to coloured water and stirred it until it dissolved. A squirt of washing up liquid was added and finally a glug of vinegar (acid). When mixed together, the vinegar and bicarbonate of soda caused a chemical reaction and the bubbles of carbon dioxide that were released caused a volcanic eruption!
