Hot & Cold Workshop

Hot & Cold Workshop

Explore the science of heat conduction in this hands-on holiday science visit

📚 Library Suitable

Heat Up Your Holiday Program!

Exploring the propagation and power of thermal energy!

📚

LIBRARY ADJUSTMENT: We can remove all fire demonstrations at your request.

How is heat propagated through different materials and how do we harness it for our own use? This workshop explores everything from thermodynamics to future technologies!

Experiments include:

  • 🚀 Conductivity: Test a real Space Shuttle tile!
  • ⚙️ Energy Transfer: How heat is created.
  • 🌊 Convection: Driving ocean & atmospheric currents.
  • 🌡️ Temperature: Making engines work with thermal diffs.
  • đź§Ş Chemistry: Exothermic and endothermic reactions.

✨ Reliability You Can Trust

Coordinating holiday programs for Libraries, OOSH, BASC, and Councils requires hassle-free logistics and proven engagement.

Led by a Churchill Fellow, our team has delivered programs for over 4 million students since 2004. We ensure your heat science session is safe, educational, and high-impact.
