Equipment (To join an entirely optional practical)
It is a good idea to have a whiteboard or paper, pen, ruler and calculator to hand in each session.
- A tray or table cloth (to contain any mess)
- Four eggs of the same size (hopefully three will still be edible afterwards)!
- 6 identical plastic bottle tops (the sort you get on squash bottles are ideal)
- a protective sheet of some sort A4 size (a silicone baking sheet, plastic document wallet or similar)
- An A4 hardback book
- At least 10 other books (supervision may be required to ensure these don't tumble onto anything / anyone)!
- A large glass, beaker or jar (ideally should fit an egg neatly in the bottom)
- Approx. 300mL vinegar (cheap "white" vinegar for cleaning is perfect, but any will do)
- Eye protection is recommended to prevent vinegar splashing in eyes.
Links suggest sources of appropriate resources
What might younger students need help with?
Supervision of young children is recommended to help them pile up books carefully!
They may need help if any eggs break, and with pouring vinegar carefully.
