Science Club members have been busy lately investigating scientific theories whilst making Gloop and Lava Lamps. Firstly, we found out that Gloop is a non-Newtonian fluid. It is a solution that behaves a little like a solid and a little like a liquid and seems to defy the laws of gravity. You just need to mix Cornflour and water to make this substance and, although it is messy, it's a lot of fun! The children were amazed by the actions they saw in their Lava lamps which, they learnt, were caused by hydrophobia! . (The word hydrophobic literally means "water fearing" and highlights how oil and water do not mix!) You can see some interesting shapes inside the glass jars in the pictures above. Science Club will resume in the New Year with more experiments and enquries. Watch this space! Mrs Blomeley and Miss Lewis.
