Lionel Primary Workshop - Fun with Fire!

We have worked hard this term to continue our primary outreach programme - giving local primary school pupils the chance to experience a slice of life at I&S. Following the DT electronics and science heart dissection sessions, this time we welcomed Lionel Primary for some ‘Fun with Fire’!

A big part of the session was teaching the Year 5s how to use a bunsen burner safely. They then put different metals into the fire and watched the flame change colour! As you can imagine, students were very excited about this experiment. Later, students put iron filings over the bunsen burner to replicate the science behind fireworks. It was a fantastic, eye-opening session - and another brilliant way for us to connect with our local community.
