Science Club has got off to a really strong start this year with pupils from Year 7-11 all getting involved and carrying out science investigations together. So far we have learned how to speed up reactions using catalysts (elephants toothpaste), increasing temperature and surface area. We have also investigated the iodine clock showing that we can use equipment accurately to get repeatable results.
This week we used limes and potatoes to make batteries – because who needs lemons anyway? Pupils managed to join their individual cells all together in a circuit to generate a potential difference of 9V!
Next week Dr Patchett has set them the challenge. Can they make a plant grow upside down? Keep your eyes peeled to see how we get on…
