Science club get creative with colour

Science club made different solutions of sugar water and added food colouring. The result is that you can layer different colours on top of each other due to the differing densities of the water. Clever!

Reading Scales

How much is 50grams?  100 grams?  200 grams?

We used clay to make torches, candles and anything else that is a source of light. 

We made the mass of each thing different.  We had to estimate how much they would weigh.


Lots of different light sources!!

We then used the scales to check how close we were.
