Elephant Toothpaste and Balloon Rockets

Science in Year 6 is so much fun, especially when the children ask some incredibly interesting questions.

How many drops of water can fit on a 2p coin?

What happens when you combine two different chemicals together?

What affects how fast an object can travel?

The best way to answer these questions was to launch an investigation.

As a result of our investigations we discovered that we can fit 57 drops of water on a 2p coin, when you put two chemicals together that have different properities they produce a chemical reaction and that the shape of an object will affect how fast it can travel.
