More about Fizz, Bang, Pop Experiments

Fizz, Bang, Pop Experiments

Wild Science invites young explorers on a captivating journey into the world of chemical reactions with our Fizz, Bang, Pop Experiments. Furthermore, children discover the thrilling dance between acids and alkalis in this lively and interactive session. So, they will discover science’s fizzing, popping, and explosive wonders!

The Experiments

1. Baking Soda and Vinegar

Imagine a mini volcanic eruption right in your classroom! Mix baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) with vinegar (acetic acid), and the magic begins. Furthermore, the fizzing reaction releases carbon dioxide gas, creating delightful bubbles.

Additionally, kids watch in wonder as the mixture erupts like a tiny volcano. It’s a hands-on lesson in acid-base chemistry that leaves them grinning from ear to ear.

2. Balloon Inflating

Prepare for lift-off! We combine baking soda with a special twist: citric acid. So, when these two powders meet, they generate carbon dioxide gas. But here’s the twist—instead of a volcanic eruption, we trap the gas inside a balloon.

Kids witness firsthand how chemical reactions can inflate their sense of wonder as the balloon inflates.

3. Rocket Making

3, 2, 1…blast off! Our young scientists become rocket engineers as they create their film canister rockets. We load the canisters with baking soda and add a dash of water. Then, we quickly seal the lid and flip the canister. The result? A fizzy propulsion that sends the rocket soaring into the air! It’s a lesson in pressure, gas expansion, and pure exhilaration.

4. Lava Lamp

Go back in time! Construct your own Lava lamp without using heat or electricity!

This experiment involves combining water with food dye, and cooking oil. Due to its lower density, the oil will float on top, effectively separating the two liquids. Drop in a fizzy tablet into the mixture and observe the mesmerising reaction. When the tablet begins to dissolve, carbon dioxide gas is produced. This gas rises to the surface, carrying some of the coloured water with it. Once the gas escapes from the bubble, the water becomes denser and sinks back down. This cycle continues until the tablet has fully dissolved.

5. Elephants Toothpaste

Brushing an elephant’s teeth? Imagine producing a colossal version of toothpaste being squeezed from a tube, so huge that it seems invented for elephants! The necessary materials for this experiment include yeast, warm water, liquid soap, food colouring, and hydrogen peroxide. Yeast acts as a catalyst, facilitating the release of oxygen molecules from hydrogen peroxide, in doing so accelerating the reaction. This process results in an exothermic reaction, which generates energy in the form of heat as foaming occurs. The reaction will cease once all the hydrogen peroxide has been broken down into water and oxygen.

Why It Matters

Integrating Science into Education

Chemical reactions aren’t just bubbling beakers but essential building blocks of knowledge. Furthermore, our experiments align with the national curriculum from Key Stage 1 (KS1) to Key Stage 4 (KS4). We empower students to think critically, observe, and predict outcomes. Science isn’t a distant concept; it’s a hands-on adventure.

Solving the Mysteries

Why does vinegar react with baking soda? How does a balloon inflate without helium? Our budding scientists unravel these mysteries. Furthermore, they learn that reactions occur when substances collide, break apart, or form new bonds. And guess what? It’s all about atoms and molecules dancing together.

Fizz, Bang, Pop Experiments isn’t just about chemicals—it’s about sparking curiosity, nurturing young minds, and turning classrooms into laboratories of wonder. So, join us on this explosive journey whether you’re an infant, junior, or secondary school student. Let’s make science pop, sizzle, and soar.

We are a UK-based company with a nationwide reach. Moreover, you can count on Wild Science no matter where you are.

Are there any safety precautions in Fizz, Bang, Pop?

At Wild Science, we love getting your little scientist involved in the experiments with our Nutty Professors. For us to go, we make sure we keep them safe. We provide golden rules that everyone must follow to keep it as safe as possible. Everyone involved in the experiments should wear protective goggles and be shown how to handle equipment appropriately. One of our experiments will be conducted solely by the Nutty Professor because it involves a chemical that should not come into contact with skin. But don’t worry, kids! We’ll still make sure you have a great time watching the exciting reactions!

Joanna Jeffries

Edinburgh

An unforgettable experience. Your kids will love it! We had Susie in Edinburgh, she was exceptionally good - with the animals and the kids, and the grown-ups too! We all had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking Susie for Wild Science if you're in Scotland. So many memories made!

Sandylands

Suzie held an event in Sandylands holiday park today and we had a ball! every animal is well cared for and beautiful. very versed on each animals needs and nature, took the time to explain certain facts and even sat down at the end of her time to talk more on her other animals! cannot recommend suzie enough!!

Ajay Syal

We booked a corporate animal therapy session as part of Mental Health Awareness week, and it was truly loved by everyone. The animal expert Harriet was absolutely fantastic - super knowledgable, engaging and clearly passionate about every animal she introduced us to. The visit included a snake, rabbit, gerbil, snail and more - all of which were super theraputic! It was amazing to see how quickly the team relaxed and connected with the animals. Harriet created such a calm environment that even our more hesitant colleagues were soon happily holding the snake.

We can't recommend Wild Science highly enough - if you're looking to boost morale, reduce stress or just do something a little bit different for your team.

Susie was at Parkdean in Saltcoats and it was a fantastic experience. Very knowledgeable and chatted and answered questions from children and adults. Loved it.

Made my child's summer holding a royal python!

Shannagh Aitken

Attended a group with my husband & kids. Youngest being 1 & it was incredible. Different kinds of animals, was able to hold what we could & pet the rest.
Thanks again for the incredible experience! Fidget was amazing & we are now thinking if adding ferrets to the family. I hope fidget enjoys his chicken 🐔

We were delighted to have both Shannon & Amy attend our free family event at Crystal Peaks shopping centre this Friday. Their communication on the run-up to our event was great. On the day, the head office called us to check everything was ready & the hosts arrived in plenty of time. We had a lot of very excited guests that got to enjoy a range of fascinating creatures throughout the day. The team were great with the public & very knowledgeable about their little critters. We can't recommend Wild Science enough. Thank you for making our day so good.

We have used Wild Science for 3 years at our school. Each year they deliver wonderful sessions to Nursery and Reception children. We have never had any issues and would recommend them to everyone. The children love the experience and the animals and staff are amazing!

Jason Ewart

Thank you Wild Science for such an amazing party! Amy was super professional and had the kids eating out of the palm of her hand. My son absolutely loved the animals she brought and we were so impressed with how she handled the group (of 3-5 year olds) and gave them interesting and fun facts about each animal which kept all the kids interested and engaged. It was so much fun, we would highly recommend it!!!

Jasmine Pierce

Ross was absolutely amazing. So patient, kind and knowledgeable of the animals and the slime workshop. We had a party of 20 and with the madness that ensued he was always calm and reassuring for each child if they were apprehensive of holding any animal - big or small. Would 100% book Wild Science again, especially Ross.
Thank you for making our animal lovers birthday so special!

Lucia Williams

Ross came to my sons 3rd birthday, he was brilliant, the kids had a great time, the whole thing was really relaxed and everyone got a good amount of time with the animals and really enjoyed the experience - the customer service beforehand was really good, great communication and lots of questions answered - highly recommend!
