Year 8 have been learning about combustion and to demonstrate this, Mr Snewin used coffee whitener as the fuel to create some spectacular flames 🔥🔥

Following on from our bubble fun, the next Science club task was to produce density rainbows. The students made coloured sugar solutions of differing concentrations and densities before carefully layering them on top of each other 🌈

Yesterday Mr Snewin performed a fantastic demonstration of Cannon fire as the Year 11s learnt about the combustion of alcohols! The catalysed decomposition of hydrogen peroxide provided oxygen for an extra kick! 🔥
