Kitchen Chemistry
The new FutureLearn course started this week, just done this weeks, well, they emailed a list of supplies to do the experiments and I quietly watched videos and looked at the images of the experiments being done, I suspect the toaster hot air balloon one would end in disaster, but I'll do the teabag one tomorrow.
Not sure which is more interesting, learning the science, the clicky link to unlike and oddly named molecules including my fave ranasmurfin which is the toxin secreted by a bright blue Amazon rainforest frog (much more giggling at names possible at this link) or reading about other people's mishaps trying to do the kitchen experiments. Burnt plastic bags, coloured water everywhere, one homeschooled child having gone through an entire box of teabags because it was such a fun thing to do... yes, suspect this may prove the best part *g*
Next week we need a candle and bicarb amongst other things, must add them to the Tesco list.
