In this section we propose a number of hands-on activities in chemistry to increase students’ knowledge of …show more content…
•
Add some food colouring and about a teaspoonful of salt to the water in the bowl.
•
Take all the equipment out to a sunny, level place.
•
Place the glass or cup in the middle of the bowl making sure no water splashes into it. •
