Science Fair - Popping Balloons

A note came home from school about a Science Fair which instantly grabbed Ella's attention! Essentially, the project was self driven where students were encouraged to design, undertake a science experiment and present the results.

Before we knew it Ella had designed her experiment about Popping Balloons!! We discussed various aspects of her experiment with her then let her get on with it. She had loads of fun popping the balloons and recording the results as she went.














The experiment was left for a few weeks, before a concerted effort was made in the formal writing up and presentation. Thankfully our impending ski trip meant this was done quiet quickly.


Along with other science fair participants, Ella presented her Popping Balloons at the school Science Fair night. A total of 60+ experiments were proudly on display in the school hall. The range of topics and obvious amount of time and effort spent by these students was impressive!
