Changing Materials
“It will explode!”; “Nothing will happen.”; “It will melt AND evaporate.”
Children explore their understanding of different materials by predicting what will happen when they heat them up, and then testing their predictions. They will experiment with heating different materials over a small burner and use observation and enquiry skills to work out what is happening and why.

Our experienced team will put together a full or part-day programme of shows and workshops that fits into your school timetable and that allows sufficient time to set up, reset or clear away. The programme is tailored to each school and can usually include a mixture of activities for different Key Stages. A small number of activities may require two staff members, but we can run two streams of activities simultaneously with an additional member of staff.
