Cornflour & Water
Cornflour & Water
Children in our ASD class did the cornflour & water experiment. The children mixed cornflour with water and it was solid when we hit it from the top but when we slid our fingers gently into the mixture it was in a liquid state again!

Skittles Experiment
Skittles Experiment
Children in First Class were doing an experiment with skittles. The arranged the skittles in a rainbow pattern on a saucer and poured warm water over them. The shell of the skittle is made from sugar and it starts to dissolve in warm water.

One was to make a volcano in a cup. When we added baking soda to the vinegar, it began to fizz and come out of the cup.

In the other experiment, we placed some vinegar in a cup, and put some baking soda into the fingers of a rubber glove. We then turned the glove upside down. and taped it on to the cup. The rubber glove began to inflate like a magic hand!

Mixing Liquids
Mixing Liquids
Third and Fourth Class mixed water, oil, glitter and food colouring. We saw how the oil didn't mix with the water and the food colouring only mixed the water and not the oil.

Playdough Experiment
Playdough Experiment
Fourth Class made playdough by mixing cornflour, shaving foam and food colouring. It was very messy but great fun. They needed a lot of shaving foam and it took a while to mix to the correct consistency.

Senior infants observed kitchen paper absorbing coloured water and moving along it. They saw the colours mix and create a new colour.

5th and 6th Class did a number of different experiments with food colouring.
5th and 6th Class did a number of different experiments with food colouring.
Cornflour slime experiment- We created a thick slime using cornflour, food coloring and water. The slime is a non-Newtonian liquid which means it is different to ‘normal’ liquids. It gets thicker when it is pushed or pressed down.

Fizzy Colours- We created a fizzy liquid using vinegar, baking soda and food colouring. The bicarbonate of soda is an alkali, it reacts or changes when it mixes with an acid like vinegar because they are very different.

Paper towel colour mixing- We mixed food coloring and water in cups and used paper towels to watch the colours mix. Water moves up the paper towel because the paper is absorbent, it sucks up water. The colour travels with the water making the paper change from white to red or blue. Colours mix when they are joined together, red and blue make purple.

Rainbow Colour mixing- We used milk, food colouring and fairy liquid to create a rainbow effect. Milk is mainly water with another big ingredient: fat. The washing-up liquid bonds with the fat in the milk. The food colouring is pushed out because the bond is so strong.

Junior Infants have been learning about water, and have been investigating if it would change certain materials. It was exciting to see how some materials like coffee and sugar changed completely in water and others remained the same!

First and Second class read about Hammy and how he tried to trick his friends by dissolving some things in water. Sometimes the trick worked and sometimes it didn't, because not everything dissolves in water!
