Create STEM Opportunities with Potion Making

Nov 01, 2019

Who loves potion making?

Today we have made some great mixtures but even better so much learning has happened- From predicting to problem solving!

We’ve explored making ‘Witches Blood’ and watched it fizz and bubble as the bicarbonate of soda combined with the vinegar.

We also made ‘Goblins Snot ‘mixing together cornflour, water, green colouring and chia seeds.

We popped our mixture into bottles and wrote our own potion labels too.
According to the children tomorrow we are making a spell book!!
