We had two lessons already. The first session, we had Kylie helping us. We did experiments about potato calculators, dissolving sugar crystals, swinging pendulums and checking stomach gasses.

During our second session, we did chemical science with Prue. My group did something about electricity, detergent and food colouring, made clear slime, dried up water and loaads more. There were so much that the group I was with didn’t get the chance to finish every activity. The best was  the slime part because we get to keep it. You can stretch it, bounce it and do loads of things with it!

 I just can’t wait ’till the next CSIRO session!!!
