Slime, Sherbet & Bubbles Outdoor chemistry workshop where students can see variable testing first hand Enquire Now 🧪 Chemical World: Mixtures & Reactions Slime, Sherbet & Bubbles Fun science for active Kindergarten to Year 2 students! We explore everyday chemistry in a truly “hands-on” way! This school science visit is a fantastic opportunity for early learners to explore mixtures and simple variable testing in a dynamic outdoor environment. From the stretch of gross slime to the fizz of tasty sherbet, students will investigate the properties of different materials and witness how chemical reactions can create surprising (and sometimes delicious) results. Key Investigations: 🫧 Gigantic Bubbles: Discover the physics and surface tension behind massive bubbles. 💥 Tasty Sherbet: Experience a chemical reaction right in your mouth! 🚀 Rocket Launch: Test variables to see what makes a rocket go higher. 🧪 Gross Slime: A deep dive into polymers and chemical science. Pedagogical Excellence Led by Churchill Fellow Ben Newsome, we ensure early childhood science is grounded in best practice, making foundational chemistry accessible and high-impact.

The children were buzzing with enthusiasm. They had all had things to go home and try. I liked the freedom to create that the kids had as well as the support & help supplied. The activities were varied and fun and we had access to 'expensive' stuff that schools don't have. Better than expected! Science workshop content What Students Experience This workshop is built around three high-energy modules designed to make chemistry tangible and fun for early learners. Throughout each module, we emphasise fair testing of variables and encourage students to clearly communicate their scientific observations. 🫧 Giant Bubbles Students investigate the chemistry of surface tension by exploring how changing the bubble mixture affects the size and strength of their creations. 💥 Sherbet Making A tasty introduction to chemical reactions! Students witness how specific ingredients combine to create a fizzy reaction right in their mouths. 🧪 Slime Making Students follow a scientific procedure and practice active problem-solving to create a cross-linked polymer (slime) with the perfect texture. 🚀 The Big Launch: We also include a rocket launch demonstration to vividly show how small changes in variables can have a massive influence on the final result! Real Classroom Highlights K Kambora Public School Primary Chemistry Incursion Our K-2 students had a blast with the Slime, Sherbet and Bubbles workshop! It was wonderful to see them so engaged with the scientific process while having so much fun.
