This lesson was done in 20 minute slots to 3 separate groups but can be stretched out to a full lesson. It includes a fun voice over activity at the end where students need to use their imagination and science skills to try and make a voice over for a man cooling tea in an unusual way. Enjoy

This lesson achieved an outstanding grade during observation and the students thoroughly enjoyed learning about bath bombs and carbonates and acid. It is aimed at a lower group but can easily be tweaked for middle or higher groups. The worksheets are differentiated and can be found within the powerpoint.
