Eight excited scientists from Year 3 and 4 have had the opportunity to attend an after school science club at Waseley Hills High School this year. “It’s really good that the high school children help us,” said Lily.

So far they’ve explored acids and alkalines, used Bunsen burners to do flame tests, recreated the digestive system, learnt about the skeleton and created batteries from fruit. “We’ve learnt about lots of stuff like circuits and the digestive system,” explained Caitlin. “I loved colouring a flame with chemicals!”

They’ve grown so confident that some of them are now even explaining to everyone else how to set up electrical circuits. At this rate, they’ll be teaching the science lessons themselves!
