In class our topic was science and we were doing a lot of good experiments and we made lava lamps. We tried to see what materials would dessolve in water. The materials were sand ,salt ,cocoa powder and veg oil.

These are test tubes we have been using them for the materials.

We also used snap and fix to see if we could get electricity to go round a circuit to set off an alarm ,fan and a light bulb.
