This blog has been paid for by and created in partnership with Pfizer UK. The #JoinTheFight campaign is sponsored by Pfizer UK. When my now 11 year old was 3 she had a terrible case of chicken pox. She had spots everywhere, even on her eyelids! She eventually recovered, but it was a long two…
Did you know you can use chromatography to separate the different colours in the coating of colourful candy? This fun science experiment is perfect for learning about separating mixtures and can even be used as a science and art activity too! This activity can also be found in my new book Snackable Science. If you…
The digestive system is made up of several organs working together to make an organ system ( digestive system ). This activity shows how to make an easy digestion system model using food and tights! This activity can also be found in my book Gross Science! What is Digestion? Digestion is the process by which…
Your skin is a barrier from harmful things in the environment. When skin becomes damaged blood quickly clots ( thanks to platelets in the blood ) around the damaged area to form a dry crust, called a scab. This protects your body from any nasties which could take advantage of the new opening in your…
