More about States Of Matter

Where Molecules Dance and Science Comes Alive!

Welcome to the fascinating world of States of Matter! Our interactive science experiments allow children to explore how molecules behave in solid, liquid, and gas states.

As molecules dance and swirl, matter transforms right before our eyes. Let’s uncover how matter shapeshifts and waltzes through its many forms, from solids melting to liquids evaporating into gas.

The Matter Metamorphosis

Solid. Liquid. Gas.

Matter can change states—from solid to liquid, liquid to gas, and back again. Our science experiments peel back the layers and reveal the fascinating process behind these changes.

Have you ever touched a metal that melts in your hand?

Meet Gallium—a silvery metal that melts at just above room temperature! Kids will watch the astonishing transformation as Gallium changes from a solid to a liquid, all without using a flame or heater.

Games and Mini Demonstrations

Imagine matter as a shape-shifting artist! Through fun games and mini-demonstrations, we bring these transformations to life.

Watch liquids turn into gas, solids melt into liquid, and liquids freeze into solid—it’s like witnessing a magical metamorphosis in real time!

Sublimation: The Fun Twist

Hold your breath for the grand finale—sublimation steals the show!
This rare and exciting transformation happens when a substance jumps from solid to gas without becoming liquid first.

Our star? Dry ice! Known for its dramatic fog effects in TV and film, dry ice shows just how cool (literally!) science can be.

States of Matter in Education

Tailored Learning for All Ages

It’s More Than Science – It’s a Dance of Particles!

Whether you’re a curious child or a seasoned student, join us as we unravel the mysteries of matter together!

FAQ

Can parents participate in these sessions?
Absolutely! Parents are welcome to join in. It's a perfect opportunity to learn, explore, and enjoy the magic of molecules together.

What practical applications does understanding states of matter have in everyday life?
Great question! Understanding the states of matter helps us grasp daily phenomena like:

Why does ice melt when left out
How do steam power turbines work
Why does a helium balloon rise
What happens when water boils
How do we store and transport gases like oxygen and nitrogen

Are there any real-world examples of sublimation?
Yes! Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) sublimates directly into gas without turning into liquid—perfect for our demonstrations!

Can you explain the concept of plasma as a state of matter?
Plasma is a super-energised state where atoms break apart into electrons and ions. You can find plasma in lightning, neon signs, and even the sun!

Are there any safety precautions in States of Matter experiments?
Yes—and safety is our top priority!

Every child receives safety goggles; they’ll look like mini scientists wearing them!
The Nutty Professor (our expert host) is the only one who handles dry ice, which is kept at a chilly -78°C.
Our trained professionals wear specialised safety gloves for handling extreme temperatures.
We brief everyone with clear safety rules before the session begins to ensure it’s fun, educational, and safe for all.

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!

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. [...] Harriet was absolutely fantastic - super knowledgable, engaging and clearly passionate about every animal she introduced us to. [...] 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 🐔

Kids had a total blast at Wild Science. So did mum!
We got to meet a cockroach, a snake, 2 geckos, a bearded dragon, a ferret, a mexican tarantula, and a bunny!
The lady was going to name a cockroach 🪳 after my son Leon 🤣 poor kid was peed and pooped on, it was sooo funny! Everyone had such a great time. Thanks for entertaining us. 😆

Animal visit (Summer Fair Gilmerton Community Centre)
The management committee would like to thank Susie and trainee Amy for bringing the animals to the Community Centres Summer Fair. Once again, they were very popular with adults and children. Those attending said they enjoyed meeting and learning about the animals up close.

Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre

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.

Des Best

The animal expert we were lucky enough to have from wild science was excellent. She even managed to keep the kids at a 7 year old birthday party relatively quiet and very interested. Would highly recommend.

Toni

It was a wonderful day had by all, the adults and children really had a great time every animal was explained in great detail and we will be booking them for further events

Dani Jaff Klein

My son (4) and his friends had the most wonderful time! The scientist was totally able to engage their attention for over an hour and they had fun and learned so much too! Thanks for the best party!

Leah Lorentson

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!
