Week 2
We investigated different recipes for 'fake' snow. Which one do you fancy trying?
We mixed different household ingredients and were able to make our own 'snowmen'.
We even created our own mixtures with baby oil, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda as well as conditioner and cornflour. They were probably the best ones!

We started this half term's science club with a paper bridge challenge.
First of all, we tried folding single sheets of paper to create flat bridges to span approximately 15cm. It was amazing how strong just a single sheet of A4 paper folded could be. To make them stronger we created a 'U' shaped bridge
Next, we rolled paper to create a series of rolls which we taped together- these were much stronger.
You could have a go at making something like this using rolled paper of cardboard tubes. How much could it hold?
Flat bridge - folded in quarters lengthways
'U' shaped piece of A4
The 'U' shaped bridge was 1 sheet of A4 paper folded in quarters lengthways and then 2 more fold to create the 'sides'.
This half term, we have had fun finding out many things including how to make carbon dioxide and blow up balloons, experimenting with different designs of paper aeroplanes and exploring the wonder of surface tension.
We made 'cars' and 'rockets' powered by balloons and had a go at making a walking rainbow after investigating the most absorbent paper. https://funlearningforkids.com/rainbow-walking-water-science-experiment-kids/
Vinegar and bicarbonate of soda
Using pipettes to add drops of water slowly to the surface of the coin.
Did you know it is possible to balance a paper clip on the surface of a cup of water?
Have a go over the holidays.
'Volcanoes' with washing up liquid, vinegar and bicarb.
