Kitchen Chemistry workshop
On Friday the 21st of November, Rehka and Louise two N.U.I.G. students who are currently studying chemistry came to visit our school to show us some fascinating science experiments. One the coolest and my favourite experiments was the glow stick experiment. This involves hydrogen peroxide and several different salts. When you mix the two ingredients they create a short 3-5 second blue glow. We also made slime which involves P.V.A glue and borax. When you mix the two liquids it turns into a gooey sticky slime. The experiments were great fun and I really enjoyed the morning.
