Lesson 2 in my Ocean Week special! We'll be doing a very cool activity to see how Coral Reefs behave, and comparing them to one of my favourite things on land! To join in live you'll need:

Eggshells (from at least 2 eggs, the more the better)
Cup of vinegar (Any kind)
Narrow necked glass bottle (eg wine/ milk)
Balloon
Bit of lichen (optional). (This is the green/yellow stuff that grows on trees and is often found on branches on the ground. Not moss which is sort of fluffy. Lichen looks like really tiny greeny yellow mushrooms. We're only looking at it but it will help the kids relate to corals).

People who've been following me for a long time: I know you've seen this experiment before but we've not DONE it. There is no need to grind the eggshells..!

All the lessons are on my Facebook page as usual; go to the videos section of Theatre of Science and I'll pop up. Ignore any spam links!
