Mini Professors Science Classes Basingstoke and Alton

⚡️Storms ⚡️was our very last topic of term. We created some mini tornado’s 🌪 & rainclouds 🌧 in class & learnt how they were made too! Great job Mini Professors! 👩🏼‍🔬 Xx

Ignite your little one's love of science by creating dancing jingle bells!

This Christmas themed science experiment helps to introduce and explain density to your children.

To have a go at this experiment you'll need: a clear glass container (such as a jar), some jingle bells (these could all be the same size or they could be different sizes) and a clear carbonated drink (such as lemonade) stored at room temperature.

Conduct your experiment by:
1. Adding your jingle bells to your jar or container
2. Then pouring your carbonated drink into the jar.
3. Within seconds your jingle bells will be dancing! (If you have enough bells in the jar, the jingle bells will even hit each other with a clink sound!!)

This Christmas science fun explains the concept of density to your children. The jingle bells are on the bottom and do not instantly begin floating in the soda because they are more dense than the liquid. Air bubbles then begin to surround the jingle bells and cause the bells to float up. When the air bubbles pop, the bells sink down again.

Will you be having a go at this experiment with your children over the Christmas holidays?

Unfortunately Professor Karon isn’t well and won’t be able to run the final class of term tomorrow (Tues 14th) She is very sad not to be there to give out certificates & pressies & say goodbye to you all 😢
Please look out for a follow up email/text, thank you.
