Marvellous Mixtures

Explore different types of mixtures and ways of separating them

What really is a mixture? In this holiday hands-on workshop kids will investigate all manner of mixtures and find out how to separate them back out again. Filtration, chromatography, and magnetism are all explored…are they physical techniques or chemical techniques? Great for younger kids but older children will enjoy getting involved too! NB: Not for carpeted areas, this can be a messy workshop! Trustpilot

Marvelous Mixtures

I attended the Woodville Alliance Centre today with my two grandsons for your Fizzics presentation with Stephanie. I have one grandson who is, well let’s say he’s extremely enthusiastic. He is 8. Stephanie’s presentation was inclusive of all the children and held everyone’s interest. She was amazing. Her “handling” of my Zak’s enthusiasm was just amazing and she took the time to tell him at the end of the session that she could see how hard he was trying to allow the other children to ask and answer questions. He even got a sticker, which is now very proudly stuck to the fridge so he can explore more experiments from your site. I would like to thank Stephanie for her professionalism and her kindness. Thank you again, both our little men came away with new terminology “Ink Chromatology” is currently a “thing” in our house and they can explain the experiment and the outcome, again, because Stephanie was able to hold their interest with her explanations. So, once again, thank you.

School Comments View All

I just wanted to pass on how much the staff and students really enjoyed it and how perfect it was to launch our science week activities. The students were enthralled, educated and entertained – a perfect trifecta!

-Caulfield Grammar School – Big Science Big Fun

Thanks so much for presenting at our school on Monday. Our students enjoyed the show.

-Greenvale Primary School – Big Science Big Fun

Fizzics Education curated a thoughtful and hands-on experience for the children, incorporating practical, skill-based learning activities and followed by a science presentation at the end of the event involving liquid nitrogen. This was delivered safely and effectively, capturing both the children and the parents for the duration of the presentation.

-Macquarie Bank – Family Fun Day

Fizzics Education ran a show today at our school and it was wonderful. He was a great facilitator and the show was age appropriate and well done.
