Hands-On Science Incursion: Choose 4 Activities for Students
Bring your next school science incursion, vacation care program, or holiday workshop to life with four hands-on activities of your choice. Each experiment is tailored for primary students and makes tricky STEM concepts exciting, memorable, and fun.
Cabbage pH
Discover how to use red cabbage as a natural pH indicator to test the acidity and alkalinity of everyday items from your kitchen. Kids love watching the colors change from purple to red, blue, or green while learning key concepts about acids, bases, and chemical reactions in this fun STEM classroom experiment.
Ph Paper
Students test lots of mystery household chemicals with both lab-grade universal indicator paper and cabbage juice. This activity combines real science tools with DIY chemistry to show how scientists measure pH and why understanding acids and bases matters in real life.
Dastardly Density tubes
Who can make the tallest rainbow density column? Using special tall plastic tubes, pipettes, and colorful liquids, children explore density, buoyancy, and layering of solutions. A hands-on STEM challenge that mixes fun competition with key science concepts.
Coke Mentos
Variables
The classic Coke and Mentos geyser experiment — with a twist! Students investigate how different variables affect the eruption. A fantastic way to introduce fair testing, scientific method, and cause-and-effect while keeping kids laughing and engaged.
Sherbet mouth explosion
A deliciously fun activity where kids mix edible powders to create a fizzy, exploding sherbet in their mouth. This safe chemistry experiment teaches about acid–base reactions, carbon dioxide release, and how ingredients interact. Available in the longer 90-minute workshop for extra fun.
