Science workshop experiments
Content
The workshop is built around 3 modules;
- Chemistry of giant bubbles. Investigate the effects of changing the bubble mixture.
- Sherbet making. Witness that certain ingredients can be combined to create a reaction.
- Slime making. Learn to follow a procedure and problem solve to get the desired result.
Whilst we have a bunch of fun we also concentrate of teaching that fair testing of variables and clearly communicating results throughout each module. There’s also time for a rocket launch to really demonstrate that variables can have a big influence on the result… plus, to be honest who doesn’t like a rocket?!?
This workshop is best run outdoors on a grassed area near a table otherwise an undercover area out of the rain will suffice.
