Have you ever wanted to make silly putty? Find out all about bees? What happens to bananas in liquid nitrogen? 400 pupils of Manorcroft Primary School, Egham had the chance last week to get involved with chemistry.
It was a CHEMISTRY AT WORK DAY organised by SATRO and The Royal Society of Chemistry on Wednesday 28 March 2012.
Activities were aimed at different ages and abilities and everyone got to try lots of different things. The Periodic Table activity with biscuits proved one of the most popular – or perhaps it was just fun to eat them! The comments from the pupils were wonderful and everybody - including the teachers - wished it could happen every day!
"I learnt that the air is made out of different chemicals and that different fruits make fragrances and that if you put flowers in liquid nitrogen they crumple up and sound like glass cracking"
"There is a lot of Science in the world" said one student - there certainly is!
