On September 24, my class did the "Elephant Toothpaste" experiment. We were told by Mr. Lai to take beakers, large water bottles, yeast, hot water, and a little cup to put the hot water and yeast. But we forgot another ingredient, soap! So when you're doing an experiment, please remember to make sure you have everything. We mixed the yeast inside then went outside with all of our supplies! There is a little sewer drain next to our playground, we used that so we didn't have a mess! Sadly without the soap, our experiment didn't work out too well. If you would like to try this experiment, I suggest you look it up on Google or YouTube!
