As part of their work for Science Week in November 2024, Mr. Russell’s 5th Class 2024/2025 learned about molecules and hydrophobia. Hydrophobia means being afraid of water and the boys learned how the molecules in vegetable oil don’t like water and stay separated from it. They then used that knowledge to make Lava Lamps! Lots of super scientific work in 5th Class! Check out the photos from this interesting experiment in the gallery below!
