3rd July: Experimenting With Bubbles
Today we took to the great outdoors to test some bubbles. We experimented with different shapes of bubble wand to see if they had any effect on the shape of the bubbles (…they didn’t). We moved on to making giant bubbles and big clusters of bubbles, appreciating their rainbows, reflections and shadows.
For more information and activities to try at home, see our page on Bubbles.
23 March: a busy day at Carville
Iron meteorite from Chaco, Argentina. One of the ‘Campo del Cielo’ fragments first found in 1576.
What an incredible day the Think Physics team has had at Carville Primary!
I spent the morning exploring meteorites with Year 1 and Year 4/5. We held meteorites that were about 4.57 billion years old! Find out more about what we did here.
In the afternoon, Year 5/6 explored their universe. A journey that took them from the very (very) big to the unimaginably small and from the Sun to the Moon and back again. We used an infrared camera to see through solid objects and tested out a particle accelerator which was a hair-raising experience for some!
