Year 5 Foaming Fun

September 23, 2020

So much excitement for one afternoon: three different experiments to reinforce our knowledge of solids, liquids and gases. 

First, we watched the raisins dance in the lemonade; the carbon dioxide bubbles act as floatation devices, lifting the raisin to the surface before popping and releasing the gas. 

After we observed the changes that occurred when squirting Foamburst from a canister onto our hand, we couldn’t believe how much it changed. 

Finally, we observed how cornflour and water create a magical substance that acts like a solid and a liquid when different forces are applied to it. 

All in all, an enjoyable and exciting afternoon was had by all.
