💥 Science in the Disco Lab 💥A little while ago we explored how burning sugar and bicarb soda can combine to produce an amazing carbon snake. This is an example of combustion - combining heat, fuel and oxygen to produce a reaction. We love combustion reactions, and if you've seen us on the road you'll recognise this exciting one that is the grand finale of our Creative Chemistry activity!!Check out the video below to explore combustion and the fire triangle with Andréa - it is sure to knock your socks off!DISCLAIMER: Do not try this experiment at home or school. This experiment is performed under laboratory conditions by trained professionals, with the associated risks mitigated through careful WHS safety planning.
