This term we are looking at Science in the Material World and hope to have a lot of hands on fun while learning. Today was our introduction and we chose to see what happens if we mix an energy drink, such as Red Bull or Monster, with milk. We took this a step further and tried several different types of milk - measured carefully into cups. We used Blue Top (full cream milk), Green Top (Trim milk), Milk for Schools milk, Chocolate milk and a lactose free milk. We topped the cups up with the energy drink and sat back and watched the results.
While we were watching, we had a discussion about why these drinks are not a good choice for young students and after watching the results, most children have now decided they don't EVER want to drink them, especially not after a bowl of cereal!
At the end of the experiment we tipped the "floating plug" out of the cup and several students wanted to see how it felt - and there were screams and groans and a lot of laughing, but more importantly a lot of scientific language being used!
