A friend of mine pointed me in the direction of this fun experiment...
Then there was the iodine clock reaction (The how to do it yourself experiment to follow in a post in the next few days)...
Our solution was yellow but...
it still turned black!
Vortex Cannons were made!
Soda snakes that didn't work as well as I had hoped but worked, well after the second attempt!
After all that we still had time for to extract someone's DNA. It was going to be a 10 year old boy's, but I screwed up (I forgot the washing up liquid stage) So I redid the salt swilling stage (it was disgusting; I struggled not to gag). It did produce this though...
You see those little strands? That is my DNA! Clones of me could have been made! Don't worry there's not a chance of that now: we got rid of it down the sink. If you haven't already come across it, here is a link to my How to Extract your DNA post
The sun even let us play for a few hours! A lovely day with new friends and old.
I will be publishing all the experiments separately over the next few days so keep an eye out!
Looks like you all had wonderful fun :) ... except perhaps the salt swilling bit!! x
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely day! :)
DeleteI think the results made the salt swilling worth it... Won't be doing it again though! lol! x
I love the pic of Cameron he looks so enthusiastic lol, It was a good day. Look forward to the next one.
ReplyDeleteBless him! I'm already thinking up experiments for the next one! I've gone science MAD! lol xx See you soon :)
