Among their energetic, and rather quirky, experiments were a whooshing bottle, a visualisation of how much energy is contained in just one jelly baby, and how slow reactions can be accelerated – with monstrous results.
Year 12 students Hannah and Charlotte said they hoped their presentations would inspire the youngsters “to love science as much as we do.”

In total, the explosive roadshow visited nine schools: First Tower, Grands Vaux, Grouville, JCG Prep, Plat Douet, Rouge Bouillon, St. Mary, St. Saviour and Trinity.
Head of JCG’s Science Faculty Steve Braithwaite said the shows – inspired by the school’s annual trips to the University of Bristol’s School of Chemistry and described as “quite a spectacle” – were a “fabulous opportunity” for the A Level students to “share their science skills and passion for the subject”, while “develop[ing] their own planning and presentation skills.”
