Experiments included static electricity, testing ph values using Red cabbage indicator, using food colourings to show that plants drink, colour mixing with water absorption and even chemical reactions -"fizzy colours".  In Magnetism we explored different sizes and shapes of magnets, sorts magnetic and non-magnetic items and made pattern showing magnetic fields with iron filings. In Electricity - making a simple circuit light the bulb, make the buzzer sound and combining Art and Science to make a lighhouse with a working bulb!
