I was very happy to be asked by Caroline Carney at Weatherhead High School to do a science day during their August summer school for new Year 7's. I prepared 2 main activities; electricity and bath bombs. The electricity session involved some squishy circuits followed by the girls making some jumping monsters. The bath bomb session started with an 'Elephant's toothpaste' demo and then the girls had a messy time filling balloons with CO2 from a small pop bottle. They then all made bath bombs. The two activities were repeated in the afternoon. Some girls did both activities depending on their timetables for the day. They were all very enthusiastic and enjoyed the day as I did! |
