Kate from Science Buddies is a real life scientist and she came to visit us as part of MST week. We had a ‘wow’ workshop where we learned all about bath bombs and how they are made. We got the chance to make our own: we measured out alkali and acid powder ingredients in level amounts, selected scents and colours, mixed them and compacted them into tubs to take home and use ourselves of gift to a family member. We also did a quick skittles investigation where we thought about colour dispersal – it was cool to watch the colours and how they ran into each other and lost pigment on the original sweet once mixed with water. We loved this workshop.
