Science Monday

As this is our last Science Monday, you can choose from a selection of 3 fun science investigations to do at home with your grown-up:

• Erupting volcano
• Fun with Density Rainbow in a glass
• Dissolving investigation

Tell your grownup what you think will happen, then during the experiment tell them what's happening and discuss why. Get your grown-up to write down what you say.

Take photographs and put them on EExAT for Miss hunt and Mrs. Martin to see.

Who will get Mrs. Martins Science Prize this week?
