What Science Experiments Are Included in Our Workshop?
1. Baking Soda and Vinegar
Baking Soda and Vinegar Volcanoes: A foundational demonstration of acid-base reactions. Students observe the immediate release of carbon dioxide gas, illustrating chemical properties and gas production in an engaging, visual format.
2. Balloon Inflating
Controlled Gas Inflation: Utilizing a precise mixture of sodium bicarbonate and citric acid, this experiment demonstrates gas expansion by trapping carbon dioxide to inflate balloons, teaching students about pressure and volume.
3. Rocket Making
Film Canister Rocketry: 3, 2, 1…blast off! Our young scientists become rocket engineers as they build 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
Visual Density & Polarity (Lava Lamps): This experiment explores liquid density and immiscibility using oil, water, and food dyes. The addition of effervescent tablets demonstrates the cycle of gas-driven transport and buoyancy.
5. Elephant's Toothpaste
Exothermic Catalysis (Elephant’s Toothpaste): A high-impact demonstration of catalytic decomposition. Using hydrogen peroxide and a yeast catalyst, this experiment illustrates exothermic reactions and rapid oxygen release in a safe, controlled environment.

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!
