Hi guys!
Do you wonder how much your skin weighs? Or how clever cabbage is? How to write a secret message, or what spit is actually for? For answers to these and lots of other questions, try out some of our experiments. They are all experiments that you can do at home or in school, you don’t need special equipment, just things you’ll have at home! Remember though to always ask an adult before you start an experiment.
Why not send me a report of what you have done or maybe a picture or drawing? I’m looking forward to seeing your results!
Mike
