We were experimenting with the method of science and in the process we got to make hokey pokey. We had to bring in a bowl, tongs, a wooden spoon and (optional) a gas cooker. We got into pairs and made a bowl out of tin foil. We had to write down the steps of making hokey pokey and then Mrs Stephens gave us the ingredients. Once the sugar and golden syrup was on the heat, we had to constantly stir it until the sugar dissolved and then quickly add baking soda into the mixture, and that's when the chemical reaction happened. It was meant to go all fluffy (but ours didn't!)
We then let it cool for about five minutes and then came Mrs Stephens with big whollops of ice cream and slopped it into our bowls.
So all in all we had a great time making hokey pokey and we learnt a lot about chemical reactions and the science behind it.
