This week we had a brilliant day at the Francis Crick where we completed a day full of workshops. In the morning, we completed a chemistry workshop, where we had to carry out various tests with different powders to find the corn flour. For example, we had to test glucose, salt and bicarbonate of soda and test their acidity via PH and their solubility, amongst other things. In the afternoon, we used completed some circuits, making a motor move very quickly and spin a fan. We got to dress up in lab coats and become real scientists for the day, whilst being taught by actual scientists. Overall, it was an exciting and stimulating day where we learnt lots!
