In science club we found out how to make colourful volcanoes!
Bicarbonate of soda, vinegar and food colouring-the volcanoes are starting to erupt! Watch out!
Look at all the colours now! What concentration on those faces! 🙂
We also mixed different materials to create a chemical reaction to make lava lamps.
Carefully adding salt to oil!
For the last part of the session we made our own balloon hovercrafts!
Looking good everyone!
VIDEO LINK- Hovercrafts at the ready….
I think some of the hovercrafts had a helping hand though 🙂 We all decided that the hovercrafts would move faster or a shiny surface or better still ice!
Lots of variety today made for another fun session!
Thanks again to my class 4 helpers-I think they enjoy it as much as the younger children do! Sam, Lottie, Georgia, Will and Charlie- thank you, it is fantastic to hear you all encouraging and supporting the children so brilliantly! 🙂
Nice work science club keep it up.

Thanks for looking at our science blog Kieron, everyone has been trying really hard in the science club! 🙂
Kieron, I saw that you are on the list for science club after half term 🙂 I’ve managed to buy a ‘Guyser’ tube (a big plastic tube) so that the Mentos and Coke experiment that we did when you started class 4 will erupt about 30 feet in the air! We’ll do this in the first session! 🙂
