Ittangur Govt School — Bottle Rocket & Slime

08/19/23

Science Nexus facilitated the execution of basic science experiments with elementary school children at the Ittangur Govt School in Bengaluru, India. First, the vinegar and baking soda reaction was demonstrated through a bottle rocket reaction. Kids then volunteered to create the mixture and shake the bottle on their own, before Science Nexus volunteers released them. The second experiment conducted was the formation of slime using glue, boric acid, shaving cream, and food coloring. Students tested the ways in which adding more or less of each substance changed the slime’s texture and created their favorite colors to take home and play with.
