Ms. O’Brien’s class in Room 1 had lots of fun experimenting for Science Week 2026! For the Dancing Raisins experiment, the children dropped raisins into fizzy water and watched them ‘dance’ up and down as tiny gas bubbles attached to the wrinkly raisins, lifting them to the surface before popping and letting them sink back down again. They also tried the Skittles rainbow experiment, arranging Skittles around the edge of a plate and adding warm water so they could watch the sugar and food colouring dissolve and spread toward the middle, creating a bright, colourful rainbow without the colours mixing together. Well done to our young scientists in Room 1!
