Bang goes that theory!

On the 4th of February year 6 had a mad science lesson. They experimented with vinegar and Bicarbonate of soda (cooking ingredients like sugar) to see what happened, can you guess?...

OK we'll tell you! We put a rubber glove over the top of the cup so if anything weird happens it doesn't give Sally (the caretaker) a big clear up! The bicarbonate of soda mixed with the vinegar causing the mixture to go berserk! The mixture fizzed all into the glove causing the glove to stand on end. Even though the bubbles only went 1/4 of the way up the glove, the gas pushed the glove off even though the year 6's held it on with all their might!(what STRONG year 6's)
The year 6's had a great science lesson, let's hope you have a great science lesson when you get to year 6!!!
