Amazing Science: How to make soap from recycled oil

Today we’ve made soap from recycled oil! This laboratory experiment is part of our Polar Bear Project.
Students from the 1st year of A levels have shown us how to make soap.
This is their recipe:
250 g of recycled oil
250 ml H2O
5 g salt
35 g caustic soda
some drops of lavender water
colourant

It has been so amazing!
Look at the pictures.





BUILDING A BALLOON ROCKET

In K5 Science we have built a balloon rocket. We’ve had so much fun! Here are the instructions:
-Thread one end of the string through the straw
-Tie each end of the string between two solid supports such as a chair, table leg or door knob, making sure it is strung tightly.
-Blow up the balloon but do not tie it.
-Holding the opening of the balloon closed with your fingers, tape one side of the balloon to the straw so that it hangs horizontally below the string.
-Get ready for launch and let the end of the balloon go. Watch as the air escapes and sends your balloon rocketing across the string track!
READY STEADY GO,


EXPERIMENTEM AMB DIFERENTS TEXTURES

A través de la manipulació d’elements de diferents textures es poden adquirir molts coneixements i experiències, les quals es poden aplicar posteriorment en el nostre dia a dia. És per això que ens encanta fer ciència i experimentar jugant amb les textures.
