Mad Science in action

The kids called it sick and awesome - we just called it fun!

All the experiments were closely supervised and used dry ice, corn syrup, glycerine, washing-up liquid and water.

The dry ice was only handled directly by trained grown-ups.

Everyone wonders what is in the box

Must be dangerous - it needs gloves!

A balloon inflating itself using dry ice

Making the bubble mix - water, washing-up liquid and glycerine

Adding dry ice to the bubble mix

Huge bubbles - great for halloween

Loading a balloon with dry ice using a tube - keeps the hands safe and the balloon neck open

Feeling the frosty bubbles

See the balloons growing all by themselves

And they get bigger and bigger

Seeing the dry ice melting straight from solid to gas

Our super bubble mix using corn syrup

Filling the giant bubble maker with mix
It's the boy in the bubble

And the girl in the bubble


We even put Nicola in the bubble
Mad scientist coffee - just like Heston Blumenthal makes

Pass the balloon around, watch it grow
