World Science Day - November 2022

World Science Day happens every year on November 10th. It was started as a way of opening up the world of scientific research and discovery to engage everybody in current scientific issue and developments — like artificial intelligence or renewable energy. World Science Day aims to show that — although you may not be a scientist or a researcher — science is all around you and is a part of everybody’s life. By making science more accessible, World Science Day is one way in which science can be used to inspire people to study and participate in it.

We invited Mr Fox from Wath Academy (one of our local secondary schools) into Greenfield where he did two 30 minute demonstrations for our KS2 children. It was really exciting watching the experiments and the questions that the children asked were fabulous.  We watched what happened when ethanol was set on fire! We loved it - have a look at the video at the bottom of this webpage.  We also saw chemical reactions where the oxygen in the bottle mixed with the chemicals which resulted in a change of colour.
