We learnt how to make giant bubbles! First, our instructor Claire showed us how to make bubble mixture using water and detergent. Then she added the secret ingredient: SALT! This helps the to strengthen the bubble so that it lasts longer. Then the fun part; making our own bubbles. We each got a special bubble wand which we made into a "fishing rod" then dipped it into the mix. We opened it up to make a triangle shape and moved it through the air to create the giant bubble!
Next we learnt how to make slime! It was actually the same as the Oobleck mixture but we got to make our own individual slime. We used a special scientific piece of equipment called a 'pippette' to put the green water into the cornflour. Then mixed it up with our hands!
Finally, we learnt how to make sherbet. Claire explained what is happening when we eat sherbert. There is a reaction between the bi-carb soda and our saliva which creates the fizziness. When there is fizzing, a gas is released! Everyone enjoyed making their sherbet but not everyone enjoyed the taste! If they put too much bi-carb soda in it - it tasted soapy! Too much citric acid was too sour! Not enough sugar it did not taste very nice at all!
If you would like to make the sherbet at home you will need:
- 1 tablespoon of icing sugar
- 1 teaspoon of citric acid
- 1 teaspoon of bi-carb soda
