The new ELI today is 'Make and use your own Plaster of Paris; investigate a large-scale industrial process in a boiling tube'.

In this activity pupils make their own small quantity of Plaster of Paris and then use it to make a cast. This helps them to understand the large-scale industrial process of making plaster.
