Year 7 Science Club
Year 7 Science Club
Science club for Year 7 pupils is where pupils carry out experiments and scientific investigations that are interesting and fun to do. Each session has a maximum of 15 pupils to ensure that everyone has chance to experience the activities.
We got off to an exciting start on the first week where we made bath bombs which we added to warm water. The following week we stood back and watched them fizz about perfectly. The second week we experienced science in a pop bottle, which included making a tornado, a Cartesian diver and a homemade lava lamp. Last week we set up some crystal gardens. 
This has been a fantastic opportunity to share scientific theories with the young keen scientists and to let them experience the activity for themselves and to watch others and ask questions. There has been a real buzz in the laboratory as they see the activity or experiment unfold and a real sense of achievement when they see the scientific principal in action. Science club should spark interest and enthusiasm for an exciting and 'hands on' subject where the pupils imagination can run wild as they investigate and experiment !
The enthusiasm from the pupils is contagious and it inspires me to plan exciting challenges for them as they are the next generation of scientists.
