Firework Safety

In p4, we love doing science experiments and when thinking about firework safety, came across this experiment about creating fireworks in a jar.  We had to add some water to a container, then in a separate container, we add some food colouring to oil.  We then poured the oil onto the water.  














Our thoughts/reactions: 
'At first the oil and colours stayed on top.  Then the colours started moving to the bottom of the container.'
'It was like silent mini explosions in the cup.'
'Only some of the colours worked, but they popped in the water'.
'When we mixed them after a while, it created a whirlpool in the water.'
