Fantastic taking part in @CfblSchool #ScienceWeek2020 exploring the science of cake.
There was a real excitement around the school, loads of activities going on and the students were brilliantly engaged!

A nice demonstration of Newton's first law of motion which can be done with juggling balls if you don't want egg mess!

This highly flammable material is used to make celluloid which is still found in ping-pong balls, musical instrument parts and guitar picks.... comforting!

Happy #Advent! We are counting down with the 12 Demos of Christmas
First up Sodium polyacrylate found in fake snow and nappies βοΈπΆ
This hydrogel can absorb about 300 times its weight in tap water and 30 times its weight in...lets say "baby water"... π½
Impressive stuff!

Hydrogen rocket in slow-mo looks surprisingly like a real launch! π
I managed to capture the whisky tin in super slow-mo when comparing it to the good old fashioned Pringles rocket.

Managed to fit 30 of my favourite demos in a peli case - now to carry it across london...
If you spotted the whisky tin, it's empty and has been repurposed for science along with many other things in my life!

An absolute pleasure to visit @STEMLearningUK today and be inspired by the fantastic work you do with teachers, technicians and more.
A great space - and some impressive cacti in your greenhouse! π΅
