Hello today was the first day on of Enrich for term 3! Today we got the choice to do tessellations, chemistry or art. I choose chemistry because I had never done it. The chemistry we did was making elephant toothpaste!. Yes it does sound strange but it is awesome!

To make it you need the following:
A test tube
Food colouring (optional)
A glass
Yeast
A teaspoon and tablespoon
Hot water
Soap

Hydrogen peroxide

Steps:

1. Pour the hydrogen peroxide into the test tube till it is 3/4 full.
2. Add some food colouring (Optional).
3. Add a squirt of soap.
4. With the glass add a teaspoon of yeast and add hot water stir it till it has dissolved.
5. Add the yeast to the test tube and watch the explosion!
