After a scientific experiment in the classroom went awry, at least 11 pupils at a primary school in Sydney, Australia, were hurt.

According to reports, at least two kids with severe burns were transported by ambulance to a hospital. It’s thought that nine additional people had minor burns.

A blast of wind allegedly interfered with a test utilizing sodium bicarbonate and methylated spirits.

Fire engines, ambulances, and helicopters were called to the scene.

The incident happened on Monday at Manly West Public School around 13:00 (02:00 GMT).

Acting Superintendent of New South Wales Ambulance Phil Templemen claimed that some of the chemicals being employed had been scattered by the wind.

The Sydney Morning Herald said that the children, who are thought to be between the ages of 10 and 11, have burns to various parts of their body, including their face, chest, lower belly, and legs (SMH).

Additionally, a teacher had minor injury treatment.

Many parents who visited the school on Monday stated they had concerns about why the experiment had happened but added that everything was “in control” at the school.

“We heard online what happened, it was a bit worrying but everything seemed to be under control quite quickly,” Mich Ashton, a parent at the school, told the media.
