Last week, Year 3 carried out a colour changing potion investigation. First, the children had to test a range of potion ingredients (such as wizard’s wee and dragon’s dandruff), in order to determine what colour(s) they would change the purple potion to (they did this by using litmus paper and recording each substances ph level). Once they had done so, they then carefully selected individual potion ingredients to add to each test tube, as the challenge was to change each potion sample to a colour different to the previous one.

Take a look for yourself…
