Christmas Experiments

Perhaps Father Christmas knew we might find it a little hard to find inspiration and impetus after our break, because he gave some fab little science experiments in the boys stockings!

The Books weren't used (today!)

Checking Instructions

Lava Lamp
Cartesian Diver Experiment

Magnets
 So today we have been easing back into some science playing with gravity, polymers, lava and even ketchup. While the experiments were fun they have also sparked further interest and so we will be finding out what sort of polymers are used in the super bouncy balls and how on earth do they stick and stay together after two minutes in cold water? And how and why does the ketchup rise and fall?
