Super Scientist Workshop
Amazing science activities that promote FUN, educational learning.
This program is a modification of my hands-on science birthday parties.
​
The workshop begins with an interactive science show based around the science of colour, solutions and the powers of observation in Science. This BLOWS their minds with the giant bubble device!
They then explore many hands-on experiments in which they encounter a 1 m Woolly Mammoth femur, 1m Woolly Rhino horn and many other amazing hands on devices to pump their curious minds.
​
This workshop covers many areas of science from Physics (forces, electricity, light, pressure), Chemistry (chemical changes, density, polymers) all while giving the children material to take home !
​
Designed to engage younger kids, the children investigate energy and use their senses to discover how the science activities and toys operate.
Gigantic Bubbles
Learn about light dispersion, colours and the importance of observations while blowing your brain cells with many GIGANTIC bubble demos.
​
Kids & adults love getting inside.
Woolly Mammoth Bone
The multiple exploration tables allow the children to explore a variety of materials from Geology (fossils), Physics (light, magnets, air pressure, Gyro & more) through to biology wioth preserved specimens.
Air Cannons
They LOVE to explore air pressure with these little cannons!
​
We have two Air-Zookas in this workshops to explore air pressure & Newton's 1st Law of motion (in a FUN way).
Exploration tables
I can add a spooky addition to the exploration tables known as 'Boo bubbles'. This is usually done around halloween BUT they love it any time of year
Lava Lamp Reactions
The children explore chemical reaction while making their own test tube lava lamps (to keep)
Instant Snow
They also investigate polymers in a FUN way through exploring Instant Snow which they take home.
Investigate air pressure....
My Chatterbox tubes are an amazing way for the children to explore the science behind how birds and planes fly. BIG FUN = great learning.

Terms & Conditions for Hiring the Science Workshop Materials: Squishy Circuits 1. Overview Thank you for choosing the Squishy Circuits kits! These kits are designed to provide an amazing STEM experience that kids will love. With your help in taking good care of them, we can keep these workshops running smoothly and ensure many more children enjoy the fun and creativity they offer. We can’t wait to hear the fantastic feedback from your crazy and wacky Squishy Circuit experiences! 2. What’s in Each Kit? Each Squishy Circuits kit includes: 1 x Plastic power pack with 4 x AA batteries 3 x 7 oz tubs of playdough 6 x LED lights 1 x Playdough mat & 5 x A4 project sheets 1 x Switch 1 x Small motor 1 x Buzzer 1 x Playdough cutter / roller / shaper tool set 1 x Numbered, coloured ziplock storage sleeve 3. Using and Caring for the Kits Handling Playdough: Please remind children not to mix the playdough colours. We know it’s tempting when using the tools, but ask the kids to carefully mould individual colours and only combine them when assembling their designs. This helps preserve the playdough for future use and makes it easier to separate colours when packing away. Special care should be taken with the white non-conductive dough to keep it from being contaminated with other colours. LED Lights: The LED lights have thin, delicate legs. Please encourage the children to handle them gently and avoid bending them too far, as they can break. Power Packs and Batteries: Only teachers should change the batteries. The plastic battery packs can be delicate, and forcing them open could cause breakages. 4. Returning the Kits We appreciate your help in keeping these kits in good condition for future workshops. When packing up, please: Storage Bags: Place all parts in their correct ziplock bags. LED Lights: Scrape any playdough from the LED legs to prevent rusting. Mats and Tools: Wipe the playdough mats and tools to remove any leftover dough. Cleaning Fee: If kits are returned in a dirty condition, an $80 cleaning fee will apply to cover the additional cleaning time and materials. 5. Damages, Loss, and Replacement Costs We understand that accidents happen! If any parts are damaged or lost, we’ll need to charge for replacements to keep the kits ready for the next workshop. The costs are: Power Pack: $20 each LED Lights: $2 each Playdough Container: $4 each Buzzer: $15 each Small Motor: $25 each 6. No Deposit Required There’s no deposit required to hire these kits. However, if any items are damaged, lost, or returned in poor condition, the appropriate charges will apply. 7. Safety Considerations To keep things fun and safe, here are a few important reminders: Playdough is not for eating. Please supervise younger children to avoid accidental ingestion. The legs of the LED lights are sharp and may cause minor skin pricks if pressed too hard. Please remind children to move them slowly and handle them with care. 8. Agreement to Terms By hiring the Squishy Circuits kits, you agree to take care of the materials, follow the return instructions, and cover any costs for damage or loss. We’re excited to share these kits with you and look forward to hearing all about the amazing projects your students create!
