We used frozen, tinned and fresh pineapple and put them into the separate pots of jelly mixture and waited for it to set. We found that it was only the tinned pineapple that set because the enzymes in the fruit only disrupt the Read more

British Science Week – Effect of particle size

This week has been British Science Week, we did an experiment to explore how different sized particles interact with our respiratory system.

We found out that our respiratory system filters out larger particles which could affect our breathing.
