Working with Water Explore water's properties with this hands-on workshop for younger students Enquire Now Dive into the depths of water science for primary students! Water, water everywhere! We look at the physical science of water itself in this hands-on workshop. Skipper a soap-powered boat, create a Cartesian diver, investigate water chemistry and more. Participants will explore: sinking and floating surface tension & pressure fair testing … plus all things wet in this fun and engaging primary science workshop visit! Also available 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!)

Objects are made of materials that have observable properties (ACSSU003). Everyday materials can be physically changed in a variety of ways (ACSSU018). Different materials can be combined, including by mixing, for a particular purpose (ACSSU031). The way objects move depends on a variety of factors, including their size and shape (ACSSU005). A push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape (ACSSU033).
