Crazy Science Show Visits N.W.S

New Windsor School learners erupt in screams of excitement as Richard Scholes brings his Crazy Science Show to New Windsor.

On Thursday the 23rd of June, Richard Scholes and DJ Robin brought their Crazy Science Show to New Windsor school. Is science and magic one and the same? Can science be fun? The learners at New Windsor School now know the answer to these questions.

Dazzled by water molecules turning into a solid thanks to a substance called polyacrylate. The quick transformation of a stretchy polymer into a poodle. High and low pressure working together to beat gravity. The learners of New Windsor were mesmerized by all these wonders and more.

The highlight of this show for me was the giant bubble. I wondered how Richard was able to make this giant bubble, that only seemed to live for a few seconds - enough time for this snap happy audience member to get some inspiring pictures. The bubbles slowing grew out of the giant bubble wand - “bigger is better” was Richards motto throughout the show. Giant bubbles seemed to dance in the air. Colourful rainbows could be seen through the bubbles. As the bubble fell towards the ground the front audience members struggled to stay in their seat, eager to pop this giant bubble. As the bubble floated down it popped - droplets of bubble solution were seen tumbling down and on to the floor of the auditorium.

Richard’s Scholes Crazy Science Show opened up the learners of New Windsor School to a world of magical science. The learners of Room 25 were quick to ask if they could make rockets.  Expect to see Room 25 on the back field testing their rockets in the next few weeks!
