Year 7 are on fire!

One Year 7 Science class have finished their work for the term and spent our last lesson looking at hydrocarbons. We first revisited the conditions required for combustion and then looked into hydrocarbons. Our first experiment involved testing our prediction that water and carbon dioxide would be produced when a hydrocarbon combusts. 

Then we did one of our favourite experiments - the methane mamba! We are able to capture the methane in bubbles which we can set alight in the palm of our hands.




They represented all they had learnt in the form of a poster.
