Everyone welcome! # Mad Science Club- Our Sticky Science Adventure ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-ED907479-0DFD-4050-A791-F0CA19D1F01D_(1).png) 11 May 2026 In today’s Mad Science After School Club, our young scientists explored the incredible world of chemistry by looking at the building blocks of everything around them! The children dove into the process of constructing and deconstructing molecules to understand how polymers are formed. Putting their knowledge to the test, the children successfully created their very own Potty Putty using simple household ingredients like PVA glue and a magic activator. By mixing these together, they witnessed a "cross-linking" reaction where liquid molecules hooked together to create a stretchy, bouncy, and gooey solid. It was a fantastic, hands-on way to see how everyday materials can be transformed into a brand-new scientific creation. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-ED907479-0DFD-4050-A791-F0CA19D1F01D_(1).png) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Year 2](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-2) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/3B287F25-D9D2-4510-BCFA-3FC2FE9390DC.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-08-celebrating-sir-david-attenborough-s-100th-birthday) Previous ### [Celebrating Sir David Attenborough’s 100th Birthday](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-08-celebrating-sir-david-attenborough-s-100th-birthday) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/0948F526-5398-4567-B355-65DE5F8800EE.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-12-year-1-pe-throwing-and-catching) Next ### [Year 1 PE: Throwing and Catching ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-12-year-1-pe-throwing-and-catching) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
