Date: February 25; Wednesday
Facilitators: Ankur, Sohini, Sonai, Anupriya and Priya
Participants: Nathan, Narushie, Maheera, Samaira, Isa, Sherry, Daksh

MATERIALS USED + STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

SETUP AND OBJECTIVE

The objective of the science experiment was to use all the materials to make a ‘foam eruption’. We had set a table with all the materials with labels beforehand making it easier for the participants to know the names of the materials.

Our scientists are ready!

 

HOW IT HAPPENED

All the participants were a part of the experiment. The participants read the instructions from the cards step by step. With a little help from the facilitators, the participants did the entire experiment on their own. In the process, we learnt how to work with different chemical reagents that led to the colored foam eruption.

SKILLS EXERCISED:

  • Instruction following

  • Measuring chemical reagents

  • Turn-taking

  • Patience

  • Scientific inquiry
