This year in Science we have been focusing on Practical activities that engage and spark curiosity in our learners. This particular experiment demonstrates a number of scientific principles in a spectacular manner. The reactions show what happens when a strong oxidising agent is in a powdered form is mixed which reacts rapidly with a blue liquid to create a large Exothermic redox reaction. This reaction starts slowly doing nothing for the first 20 seconds then into a white smoke eventually culminating in a rapid release of heat and bright purple flame.
