Chemistry Capers Creative chemical school workshop ideal for covering a broad range of chemical changes Enquire Now Hands-on school chemistry workshop all about changes Find out about the science that can be found in your own kitchen as students run hands-on science investigations in chemistry. Designed to cover a broad range of chemical concepts that is accessible to primary students: kitchen chemistry found at home physical changes vs. chemical reactions acids vs. bases and indicators to detect them properties of solids, liquids and gases energy changes and more… Available as a primary school science incursion within Australia or as a LIVE video conference to any school around the globe! Trustpilot Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for students on a variety of web conferencing platforms. All of the same curriculum points will be covered, but the activities may vary from those listed for face-to-face incursions. Our online classes include demonstrations, Q&A, and hands-on activities (you will receive a materials list upon booking). Full child protections are in place We usually connect to classes & homes via Zoom, however if you wish to use a different software we can work with you on getting the connection live. If you connect with us via Zoom Full system requirements for Zoom here Each student should test their Zoom connection here. Once the date & time is arranged we will send you simple connection instructions (one click & you’re in!)

Solids, liquids and gases have different observable properties and behave in different ways (ACSSU077). Changes to materials can be reversible, such as melting, freezing, evaporating; or irreversible, such as burning and rusting (ACSSU095).
