Today at Enrich we got to pick a high interest of ours out of three choices. There was Maths - Tesselations, Science - Chemistry and Art - Painting. I chose science. It was lucky I chose science because we were going to do something really fun... like making elephant toothpaste! First we all needed to put on gloves so that we didn't hurt ourselves while making the elephant toothpaste. First we filled up half of of the test tube with hydrogen peroxide. Then we added a few squirts of sunlight dishwashing liquid. After that we added some drops of food colouring and mixed it all together carefully. Then in a seperate beaker we mixed up a teaspoon of yeast with 2 tablespoons of warm water until all of the yeast was dissolved. Finally, we added the yeast to the test tubes and it started erupting. It looked really cool and it was a lot of fun.
