Acorns - science day part 2

Date: 18th Mar 2026 @ 2:14pm

Acorns have had their own science investigations this afternoon. 

We have taken part in our biscuit dunking experiment and counted the number of times we dunked the biscuit, in warm water, cold water and icy water, until they broke. 

We explored an exploding volcano. What happens when we add bicarbonate of soda to vinegar? We loved how it became fizzy and bubbled over. 

Finally, we explored floating and sinking. We saw that heavy items sank to the bottom of the water and light items floated. 

All these fun experiments helped us develop our curiosity, engagement and learning experiences alongside others in an adult led activity.
