      Hi, Thanks for all the questions estoher03 🙂

      I don’t really remember my exact first experiments but my mum was a science teacher and when I was in year 4 she showed me an experiment called the smartie experiment using chocolate smarties.

      So you would take some of the colour from the smartie and put it on chromatography paper as a spot and you could see the different coloured dyes that made up the smartie colour! It was really cool and I remember because I love a lot of colour chemistry 🙂

      Did you ever have one of those crystal making kits when you were younger?

      That must be the first experiment I ever did!
