      That one where you put a packet of mentos into a bottle of diet coke – bit messy but loads of fun!

      My brother and I made a mortar to fire tennis balls. We also set fire to the garden.

      This dates back from school, in chemistry class. Tollen’s test I think it’s called. I can’t remember how it worked exactly (because chemistry just isn’t my strongest point sadly!) but the reaction resulted in film of silver to form on the inside of the test tube. I got to keep the test tube and had it for years. Chemical reactions, the basis of life, are fascinating.
