Year 6 physics day at Leicester university

On Monday 28 November 2016, four children had been selected to go to a physics day at the University of Leicester along with some pupils from other schools. In the first half of the morning one group had a tour of the University; the school was very big and we enjoyed seeing it. In the second half we had a big blob of play-dough and a piece of paper with all the planets on. We had to create the planets, the sizes they are (but obviously smaller). Next we had our lunch. The afternoon was the best part because we all sat in big room and the teacher (Spacey Tracy) froze a load of things with liquid nitrogen, some of the things she froze were: a banana, a bouquet of flowers and some different types balls. At the end Spacey Tracy froze some marshmallows and we all got to try one they were so good but so messy as they kept crumbling. The very end before we left we went outside and on the floor was a bucket of water, on of the teachers poured in the liquid nitrogen and the gas went everywhere. It was like a smoke machine had gone off. We also got the chance to meat a real astronaut called professor Geoff Heffman who had gone to the moon five times and worked for NASA we all had so much fun.
