Science Week

Science Week

On Thursday 13th March, Year 5 went to Rayner Stevens science lab and did an experiment called ‘Lemon Volcanoes.’ The Citric Acid in the lemon reacted with the Bicarbonate of Soda to make the lemon erupt like a volcano. It became all foamy and frothy and we used food colouring to make it look colourful. We also learnt some new key vocabulary and wrote the investigation up. We used: a lemon, a plastic knife, a tray, a lollypop stick, a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda, food colouring and fairy liquid. It was such a fun day and we enjoyed it very much. Today, we have dressed up as mad scientists to celebrate science week. By HS
