Super Scientists!

Year 6 combined yeast, washing up liquid, hydro peroxide and food colouring to make the ‘ultimate mess’ on Science Day. Each group changed one variable and observed the impact on the chemical reaction. At the Science Fair, they were able to share what they had learnt and demonstrate the experiment too.
