Science fun in the courthouse!!!

He completed lots of fun experiments to show how global warming can effect our planet. This talk was very informative and we left with lots of new information in our brains on how we can help the planet!!!
Science fun in the Library.
On Wednesday the 20th of November we were invited to the local Library in Clones to take part in various science experiments. During this presentation we got the chance to make our own mystical, magic potions. While doing this we learned about how red cabbage is an acid indicator that can be used to test various other chemicals. We mixed red cabbage juice in small beakers and we mixed this juice with three different substances-X,Y,Z. Upon mixing this die with the substances we were able to determine what they were by the colour that they changed. Acid substance (vinegar) turned pink. Base subatance (bread soda) turned blue and our neutral substance (water) turned purple!!! This was so amazing to watch and it was also an added benefit that we were part of the process too!! :):) Have a look below at all the fun we had!!
