It was National Science Day on 28th February, and our team at Hartwell Road wanted to make the day exciting for their clients.

After careful research and planning the team came up with some really creative experiments that the clients could get involved in. During the day they created “Skittle Art” with a colour displacement experiment; learnt about density – with a homemade density column; tested the viscosity of liquids with a race, and watched a chemical reaction between an alkali and acid by making fizzy potions (using simple and safe materials – water, vinegar and baking soda).

All the clients were fascinated and enjoyed getting involved in the experiments. But after their scientific success the clients now want to try even more experiments, so there is more planning in progress and may be a raft making experiment in development! We will keep you posted.
