Fireworks in a Jar Experiment!

 

 

Last week in nursery, whilst learning about bonfire night, the children enjoyed taking part in a science experiment to create fireworks in a jar! We added a few drops of food colouring to a small amount of oil, gave it a stir and watched what happened when we poured the mixture into warm water! When the food colouring sinks through the oil, into the water and begins to dissolve, it looks like tiny fireworks exploding in the jar! Amazing!
