Inspiring students to see science in their everyday lives through exciting science shows and demonstrations.

Fantastic taking part in @CfblSchool #ScienceWeek2020 exploring the science of cake. There was a real excitement around the school, loads of activities going on and the students were brilliantly engaged!


On the 11th day of #Christmas #Science gave to me 11 Mentos and lemonade plume 🍾 and nearly a very wet camera... 🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬🍬 🖐️️️🖖🤙👌✋🖖🤟✌👈️🖖🖐 🔥🐑🐑🔋⚡🔋🐑🐑🔥 🔆⭐🔆⭐⭐🔆⭐🔆 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 💧💦💦💦💦💧 💥💣💥💣💥 🥚🐣🐣🥚 🔥🔥🔥 ⚽🏀 🚽


Because everyone loves @flir thermal imaging 😎 On the 10th day of #Christmas #Science gave to me 10 hot digits👐️ and someone in a bear costume? 🖐️️️🖖🤙👌✋🤟✌👈️🖖🖐️ 🔥🐑🐑🔋⚡🔋🐑🐑🔥 🔆⭐🔆⭐⭐🔆⭐🔆 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 💧💦💦💦💦💧 💥💣💥💣💥 🥚🐣🐣🥚 🔥🔥🔥 ⚽🏀 🚽


I think Volts count as a "thing you can have nine of" On the ninth day of #Christmas #Science gave to me A 9V BATTERY WIRE WOOL FIRE 🔥🐑🐑🔋⚡🔋🐑🐑🔥 🔆⭐🔆⭐⭐🔆⭐🔆 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 💧💦💦💦💦💧 💥💣💥💣💥 🥚🐣🐣🥚 🔥🔥🔥 ⚽🏀 🚽 (No wire sheep were harmed in the making)

On the fourth day of #Christmas #Science gave to me... ...four falling eggs! (and if we're being honest a few broken ones too... 🍳) 🥚🐣🐣🥚 🔥🔥🔥 ⚽🏀 🚽 A nice demonstration of Newton's first law of motion which can be done with juggling balls if you don't want egg mess!


On the third day of Christmas Science gave to me... ...some nitrocellulose! 🔥🔥🔥 ⚽🏀 🚽 This highly flammable material is used to make celluloid which is still found in ping-pong balls, musical instrument parts and guitar picks.... comforting!


On the second day of Christmas science gave to me... 2 Floating balls 🏀⚽ and some fake snow in a nap-py! 🚽 I love the levitating ball demo - for more details check out our demo resources on some of the demos we love crackingscience.co.uk/resources


Happy #Advent! We are counting down with the 12 Demos of Christmas First up Sodium polyacrylate found in fake snow and nappies ❄️👶 This hydrogel can absorb about 300 times its weight in tap water and 30 times its weight in...lets say "baby water"... 🚽 Impressive stuff!

I can. I can’t.


Really proud to be included alongside some impressive individuals in @Kirif1's project christinehavillphotography.com/blog/2019/11/2… We did a wonderfully comfortable photoshoot in the workshop (my happy place) and I love the pictures!

Hydrogen rocket in slow-mo looks surprisingly like a real launch! 🚀 I managed to capture the whisky tin in super slow-mo when comparing it to the good old fashioned Pringles rocket.


Managed to fit 30 of my favourite demos in a peli case - now to carry it across london... If you spotted the whisky tin, it's empty and has been repurposed for science along with many other things in my life!

An absolute pleasure to visit @STEMLearningUK today and be inspired by the fantastic work you do with teachers, technicians and more. A great space - and some impressive cacti in your greenhouse! 🌵
