Marvellous Mixtures Explore different types of mixtures and ways of separating them Enquire Now What really is a mixture? In this hands-on science workshop, your primary students will investigate all manner of suspensions, colloids and solutions and explore different ways of separating mixtures including filtration, chromatography, and magnetism. Are these physical techniques or chemical techniques? Available as a primary school science incursion within Australia or as a LIVE video conference to any school around the globe! Trustpilot Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for students on a variety of web conferencing platforms. All of the same curriculum points will be covered, but the activities may vary from those listed for face-to-face incursions. Our online classes include demonstrations, Q&A, and hands-on activities (you will receive a materials list upon booking). Full child protections are in place We usually connect to classes & homes via Zoom, however if you wish to use a different software we can work with you on getting the connection live. If you connect with us via Zoom Full system requirements for Zoom here Each student should test their Zoom connection here. Once the date & time is arranged we will send you simple connection instructions (one click & you’re in!)

Ben was fantastic. He was very engaging and the experiments were interactive and appealed to students’ interests. Ben exposed the students to new vocabulary and explained the science concepts in a comprehensive manner. Many thanks, we would definitely book this again! St Andrews Malabar Feedback on: Marvellous Mixtures The experiments were great! Science Show Activities Filter my water How do natural filters help to keep our water catchments clean? Disappearing water Where did it go? And how can we get it back? Magnetic attraction Use magnets to find fortified iron in a common food! Kitchen chemistry Mix up some colourful science experiments and watch them change! Strange suspension Shake the bottle and the beads mix...wait a minute... they separate & then float back together! Ink chromatography Find the hidden colours in marker ink. Salty science How can we take the salt out of saltwater? Slime (90 min program) Really, who doesn't like slime?
