Loud explosions and experimentation were all part of the fun for science week at a Teesside school.
Whinstone Primary School, in Ingleby Barwick hosted a series of wacky events and youngsters enjoyed watching a science show as well as getting involved in the laboratories.
The event was part of British Science Week, a ten-day celebration of STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths).
In workshops pupils from Reception class right through to Year 6 made bubbles within bubbles, tried to crack eggs using only their top and bottom fingers, and flew their own planes.
There was also an explosive science show from Rick Turton aka Professor Brainstorm and every pupil released a balloon for a race linked to forces. There will be a WH Smiths voucher prize up for grabs for the balloon that has travelled the furthest by September.
Science leader Rob Ford said: “What an exciting week it has been across school.
“We have already had 14 responses from the places the balloons have landed, Abbots Bromley being the furthest so far.
“We were even lucky enough to get a glimpse, of the solar eclipse on Friday. I hope all the children have enjoyed the week as much as the staff.”
