HEDINGHAM School science teachers visited a primary school to give science demonstrations.

Seven teachers visited Pebmarsh Primary School as part of National Science Week to encourage children to be inspired by science.

In chemistry the children used household acid and alkaline substances to paint paper fish soaked in indicator made from red cabbage.

Hydrogen was also made using metals and acid. In physics, children learnt about forces by constructing water rockets which were then fired off into the sky outside.

To learn more about biology, pupils looked at examples of vertebrates and invertebrates including snakes, sponges and scorpions and trying to guess which had backbones.

The morning ended with a blow torch carrying out flame tests on metal compounds, creating plumes of colour.

The last demonstration involved putting a large amount of dry ice into a bowl of hot water which resulted in towering clouds of fog.
