Fizzle and Sizzle Science

Service Description

It’s time to sort the acids from the bases in this chemistry session! Find out what an acid is and carry out experiments investigating acids. Learn about variables and record your scientific findings. Be prepared-this could get explosive when we try out the volcano experiment! All activities are optional and will be demonstrated so your child can either watch along, join in at the time or do them later. Please check the resource list below. Join us live online to get the most out of the session, however, classes will be recorded so if something comes up, you will be able to catch the replay for 30 days. One ticket is per family/household so siblings can join in the fun together.
