Learning About Different Materials
Have you ever wondered why a house stands firm with its brick walls? Or what material makes the best boat? These questions ignite curiosity, and we at Wild Science have the answers.
Our material workshops are not just educational—they’re hands-on adventures that unravel the secrets of everyday substances.
1. The Material Mix-Up: Learning About Different Materials
Material Marvel’s
Materials surround us—wood, metal, plastic, and fabric. In our workshops, kids explore their properties. We touch, feel, and discover. It’s like a mini science lab where curiosity takes centre stage.
The ‘Sink or Float’ Experiment
Picture a tub of water. We drop objects—wooden blocks, plastic toys, metal spoons.
- Which ones sink?
- Which ones float?
Kids predict, test, and learn about density. It’s science in action.
Building Bridges:
Challenge your brain and use every bit of creativity you have to design your own bridge!
We’ll learn all about different materials and how they can be used to build structures.
Find out what shapes and materials make the strongest and most stable, and put them to the test. It’s a fun way to start your building career!
2. Recycle, Reuse, Reduce: A Hands-On Mission
Everyday Sustainability
We talk about the three R’s—Recycle, Reuse, Reduce. Kids become eco-warriors.
They sort items—paper, plastic, glass. Why recycle? How can we reuse it? It’s a fun way to think green.
Hands-On Separation
We separate recyclables—bottles, cans, and cardboard. Kids learn that every choice matters. Are they reusing that plastic bottle? Reducing waste. It’s a small step toward a greener planet.
Engaging Young Minds
Our material workshops aren’t just about facts. They’re about sparking curiosity. Kids touch, experiment, and think. What makes a material strong? Why does it float? It’s learning with a smile.
From Pre-School to KS2, our workshops engage curious minds. Whether they’re 4 or 11, kids discover the magic of materials. It’s hands-on, it’s fun, and it’s a step toward a more sustainable world.
So, let’s explore materials together. Brick by brick, idea by idea. This experiment will require the presence of sufficient adults, especially if it involves the use of scissors.
Wild Science provides customised programs that cater to your specific needs, delivering experiences across the country. We are passionate about the sciences, and with that passion and enthusiasm, we engage and inspire children and adults of all ages.
Can adults participate in the Wild Science Experiments?
Absolutely! Science knows no age limits. Parents, grandparents, and anyone with a curious spirit can join the fun. After all, who can resist the allure of stretchy, squishy goo?
How do I book a Wild Science Experiments workshop?
