Discover the magic and wonder of science with these hands-on activities that introduce children to exciting concepts in chemistry, engineering, and physics.
Sit back and enjoy the Science Show—or be brave and step up as a volunteer scientist! Get ready for fizz, bubbles, and big reactions as vinegar, bicarb soda, and food colouring combine to create crazy, colourful explosions.
Then, in small groups, kids will dive into Balloon Physics, exploring static electricity and Newton’s third law of motion using balloons. Make a flying saucer hover and race a balloon rocket down a string—who will be the fastest?
Next, children will team up to build their own Paddle Pop Bridges, using teamwork and creativity to design the strongest structure possible. Once built, the real test begins—how much weight can their bridge hold? This hands-on challenge is a great way to explore engineering, design logic, and problem-solving, all while working together as a team.
