Chaotic Chemistry Workshop
Cool chemistry around us.
​
Hands-on vacation or school workshop all about the types of changes
​
The mysterious chemical world is explored using materials often found around the home AND science equipment from science laboratories.
Kitchen chemistry is investigated while using real science indicator paper to test for differences in pH values of chemicals and more. Designed to cover a broad range of chemical concepts that is accessible to primary students:
​
-
kitchen chemistry pH testing using indicator solution & indicator paper (acids & bases)
-
physical changes vs. chemical reactions
-
The classic bicarb and vinegar reaction in STYLE. We launch rockets! (needs large outdoor space).
-
properties of solids, liquids and gases
-
Not 1, Not 2 but THREE Coke mentos geysers (explore variables in an AMAZING way!)
-
energy changes and more…
Cabbage pH
A great way to explore the natural indicator in cabbage and pH of common materials around the kitchen.
​
​
Ph Paper
Real indicators from labs are used to test those tricky chemicals.
Dastardly Density tubes
Who can make the tallest density column?
​
Using special tall plastic tubes and pipettes, the challenge is on!
Coke Mentos
Variables
Thermochromic pigments are used to create an amazing slime here.
Skittle Colour
Wheel
As we do this amazing experiment, we explore the science of diffusion, gravity & concentration.
Sherbet mouth explosion
An acid - carbonate reaction in your mouth.
(in longer 90 min session)
We also explore gravity defying slime.
This super sticky slime is amazing and actually seems to defy gravity!
