It's now more than three months since schools were forced to close their doors due to the coronavirus pandemic. As time drags on, parents who are quickly trying to learn how to become teachers are having to get more creative with their homeschooling lessons.

Mum-of-two Emma Holmes set her children Harry, 9, and Isabelle, 7, the task of causing a reaction using hydrogen peroxide, yeast and warm water.
The concoction then foams out of two empty bottles, resembling toothpaste being squeezed out of a tube big enough for an elephant.
