Oh ho ho, and please do share your experiment highlights with us @IETeducation! #SantaLovesSTEM
Watch the IET video with YouTube channel star ‘Science with Bexy’ and download the free IET worksheet from our site to join in the fun this Christmas! Make your own snowstorm in a jar with our fun and easy science experiment. Learn about liquid and gas in this fun science experiment to make a snow blizzard. In this simple science experiment, you watch bicarbonate of soda react with an effervescent tablet - stand back to see the snow storm you create! This is a great experiment for the young engineer at home or as a full lesson in school to think about density and reactions.
