Chaotic Chemistry Workshop
Chaotic Chemistry:
Unleashing the Wonders of Chemical Reactions!
Hands-on vacation or school workshop all about the types of changes
Tailored to Your Students’ Interests: Choose 4 Activities
We bring chemistry to life with fun, interactive experiments designed for primary students. Each activity introduces key concepts in an engaging and accessible way:
Cabbage pH Indicator: Discover the power of natural indicators by testing the pH levels of everyday substances using red cabbage
juice. Watch as vibrant colours reveal whether materials are acids or bases!
• pH Paper Chemistry: Use professional indicator paper and solutions to explore the tricky world of acids and bases.
• Dastardly Density Tubes: Challenge yourself to build the tallest density column! Use pipettes and special liquids to create a rainbow
of layers—can you get them all to float perfectly?
• Coke Mentos Variables: Explore variables and carbonation by creating not one, but three erupting Coke and Mentos geysers. Which
combination works best? Let’s find out!
• Skittle Colour Wheel: Learn about diffusion, concentration, and gravity by arranging Skittles into a mesmerising colour wheel. Watch
the magic happen as water spreads the colours into a beautiful rainbow!
• Sherbet Mouth Explosion: Experience an acid-carbonate reaction like never before—right in your mouth! This tangy experiment
makes chemistry deliciously fun. (Available in extended 90-minute sessions.)
• Gravity-Defying Slime: Create sticky slime that’s not only fun to play with but also seems to defy gravity! Discover the properties of
non-Newtonian fluids in this hands-on activity.
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
Do the Coke Mentos Challenge & see how variables affect carbonation release.
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!
Requirements
-
Suitable for children aged 5 and up, with a recommended group size of 25 to 30 children per session to ensure smooth operations and full access to materials.
-
For larger centres, multiple sessions should be booked to accommodate all children. In such cases, a 90-minute session can be used, with the group split into two smaller rotations for better engagement and individual attention.
-
6 tables arranged around the room are ideal for group activities and station-based learning.
-
Some experiments require outdoor space for safe and exciting demonstrations.
Session duration:
-
60-minute workshop with 45 minutes setup time and 45 minutes for pack up.
-
90-minute session is also available with the same setup and pack-up requirements.
