      We did an experiment at the science center where we used sound to break a wine glass. It was all about teaching people what sound is, and it was really cool because lots of people there thought that it wouldn’t work!

    When I was doing A level chemistry we were heating something in a container and my lab partner and I forgot the anti-bumping granules and the whole thing exploded out of the container when it boiled. I think it hit the ceiling. The rest of the class found it very funny. The teacher? Not so much.

    Haha the same thing happened to be in A level chemistry too. The teacher was not pleased. Lesson learnt- always remember to red instructions properly.

    In biology once, we took some small fish, put them in anaesthetic liquid and then put their tails under the microscope. We could look right through them and see the individual blood cells flowing round inside of them. That was pretty amazing. We then put them back in the water and watched as they slowly woke up and started swimming again, which was also kind of fun in a weird way.
