Why not try this fun Halloween pumpkin experiment at home. All you need is a pumpkin, some bicarb (or baking powder), food colouring, vinegar and a pot/cup. Add the food colouring and bicarb to the pot, and place in the pumpkin. Add the vinegar and watch your pumpkin ooze. Enjoy!

Our latest ICanToo activity was a trip to the @RWE_UK Robin Rigg Wind Farm. The students were taught about the components of a turbine & learnt about renewable energy. They were then given the opportunity to travel out to Solway Firth on a vessel, to see the turbines up close! 🚤
