Exploding Art

307/365 - Remember those little pots that you use to get a roll of film in? Ever wondered what to do with them? Today was Science in Norwich at The Forum so we had a family day out to have a look.

 

One demonstration involved putting a dollop of water colour paint into a film pot along with half an Alka Seltzer. Put the lid on and shake before placing down on its lid onto a sheet of paper. Wait a few moments and BANG!! the pot bursts and the paint splats.

 

Repeat many times with different colours an you have a work of art. Our children loved this.
