As part of our Science week, we have had the team from Mad Science in school today.  After a fantastic assembly, our class had a workshop.  For our first experiment, we poured water into 1 of three cups and then had to guess which cup contained the water once they were moved around.  After not finding out, a member of the class was chosen to stand underneath the cups when they were poured over the head of them.  We found out that none of the water was in any of the cups as it had changed into a solid!  (The person who was chosen didn’t get wet!)  We then looked at carbon dioxide and made dry ice.  We did lots of experiments with this, and even mixed it with washing up liquid, lemon juice and hot water.  This caused the dry ice to climb upwards out of the jug really fast.  It was great fun!

We then went on to make slime.  We mixed pva glue with paint and a special chemical in a tub and made a really gooey green slime.  We all thought it was great fun!  We even got to take the tub of slime home!
