Not a Prac but you could make a laboratory Christmas tree for them

You could do the borax crystal prac with the pipe cleaners shaped like Christmas trees or stars? I will find the post.

Can't find it. If you are interested PM me with your fax number and I will fax it to you unless someone else can find it. It was from 2008.

Do a search for 'Borax' March 2007 - makes a Christmas snowflake but it takes a couple of days.

I was thinking
lava lamps in Christmas colours
chromatography with M&M's or skittles
Christmas slime you could even add glitter

Does anyone have anything interesting planned for end of year/xmas class activities this year?
Re: Christmas themed prac's for yr6 visits
Radioactive decay with red and green M&M's? Radioactive decay prac was planned but the only M&M's I could find were the Christmas themed ones so I just sorta went with it.

We allow borax for slime making but gloves must be used and no taking home the product. Kids are not allowed to use it in powdered form. A borax solution less than 4.5% is not actually classified as hazardous.

Re: Christmas themed prac's for yr6 visits
We had a good one making Xmas angels by doing chromatography on coffee filters. That makes the skirt of the angel and then there was a template for the top of the angel that they coloured in and stapled onto the skirt. The problem is i found it very difficult to find white coffee filters as they all seem to be brown unbleached ones now. Ill see if i can find the template just in case.

Re: Christmas themed prac's for yr6 visits
pdf was too large a file so i took a screen shot and put it in a word file. You could probably do a better job anyway but gives the idea.
