Half term adventure alert! ποΈΒ
Esme headed up to the Lake District and conquered Scafell Pike β the highest mountain in England β in just 2.5 hours (when it usually takes 3β4!) πͺβ°οΈ At just 13 years old, sheβs now completed the 3 highest peaks in Wales, Scotland, and England! What an incredible achievement β well done, Esme! ππΒ
π₯ STEM in Action! π₯
This week in STEM club, our students explored chemical reactions in a safe and exciting way!
By mixing vinegar (acetic acid) with sodium carbonate (baking soda), we created carbon dioxide gas, which is denser than air. β and just like that, the candle was extinguished! π¨π―οΈ
Students also experimented using modeling clay to shape the candleβs base, exploring how heat transfer and design can affect the behavior of the flame.
Science was sparking today β literally and figuratively! π¬β¨
