Scintillating Science with 5AW

November 25, 2013
5AW had a fantastic science lesson at Sanders Draper school. They learnt how to light a Bunsen burner safely, wearing very fetching safety goggles! After they had lit their Bunsen burner 3 times, they carried out an experiment with different metals. The metals were heated in the blue flame of the Bunsen burner and the children closely observed what happened. They had to heat copper, wire wool and a strip of magnesium. Ask them which one had the most spectacular effect!
