Dr Rob Bell was inspired by this year’s National Science Week theme for schools Glass: More than meets the eye to come up with four magical and educational experiments for primary school-aged students.
All four will get you thinking about science, chemistry and physics in a musical and messy way. These quick, easy and fun experiments can be done at school with your teacher or at home with a parent or other adult.
So let’s get started!
