Where Molecules Dance and Science Comes Alive!
States of Matter Workshop for Schools
Ready to bring science to life? [Click Here to Check Availability & Pricing]
Welcome to the fascinating world of States of Matter. Our interactive States of Matter Workshop allows children to explore how molecules behave in solid, liquid, and gas states through exciting demonstrations and hands-on science experiments.
Suitable for KS1, KS2, KS3, and KS4, this engaging science workshop for schools makes curriculum topics fun, memorable, and easy to understand.
Why Book Our States of Matter Workshop?
Our States of Matter workshop transforms complex scientific concepts into an immersive, hands-on experience that captivates students from KS1 to KS4.
Consequently, by combining expert-led demonstrations with active participation, we bring the curriculum to life, ensuring students not only understand the physics behind particle behaviour but truly enjoy the process of discovery.
Give your students a memorable science day that reinforces classroom learning and sparks a lifelong passion for exploration.
How to Book Your Workshop
- Step 1: Click here to fill out our inquiry form with your preferred dates.
- Step 2: We will contact you quickly to tailor the session to your curriculum needs.
- Step 3: Our team arrives, sets up, and delivers an unforgettable science day.
Children learn how particles behave in different states while observing real-life examples of melting, freezing, evaporation, and condensation.
Have You Ever Touched a Metal That Melts in Your Hand?
Meet Gallium - a silvery metal that melts at just above room temperature.
One of the most popular parts of our workshop is watching Gallium transform from a solid into a liquid without using a flame or heater. It is a memorable demonstration that helps children understand how temperature affects matter.
This exciting activity brings the concept of changing states of matter to life in a way that children will never forget.
Interactive Experiments That Bring Science to Life
Imagine matter as a shape-shifting artist.
Through fun games and mini demonstrations, we make science interactive and engaging. Children watch liquids turn into gas, solids melt into liquids, and liquids freeze back into solids.
These practical examples help reinforce classroom learning while encouraging curiosity and participation.
Sublimation: The Fun Twist
Our grand finale features a stunning sublimation demonstration with dry ice, bringing particle theory to life in a way textbooks can't.
In addition, we focus on the following curriculum alignment and learning outcomes:
Curriculum Alignment & Learning Outcomes
- Understand particle behaviour in solid, liquid, and gas states.
- Explain reversible and irreversible changes.
- Identify real-world examples of evaporation and condensation.
Curriculum-Aligned Learning (KS1–KS4)
States of Matter is part of the science curriculum from KS1 through to KS4.
We adapt our workshop for different age groups and learning levels. Younger pupils explore the basic properties of solids, liquids, and gases, while older students investigate particle behaviour and more advanced scientific concepts.
Our team crafts every session to educate, engage, and cater to the appropriate age group.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can parents participate in these sessions?
We welcome parents to join us. It is a great opportunity to learn, explore, and enjoy the magic of science together.
What practical applications does understanding states of matter have in everyday life?
Understanding the states of matter helps us explain many everyday situations, such as why ice melts, how steam forms, why helium balloons rise, and how we store and transport gases.
Are there any real-world examples of sublimation?
Yes. Dry ice is one of the best examples. It changes directly from a solid into a gas without becoming a liquid first.
Are there any safety precautions in States of Matter experiments?
Yes. Safety is always our priority.
Children wear safety goggles during demonstrations, and only trained Wild Science presenters handle specialist materials such as dry ice. We also provide clear safety instructions before every session.
Is the workshop suitable for schools?
We design this workshop specifically for schools and can adapt it for KS1, KS2, KS3, and KS4 pupils.
Recommended Session Duration & Ages
Our States of Matter Workshop is suitable for participants of all ages and can be customised to suit different groups.
We typically recommend sessions lasting between 45 minutes and 1 hour. For larger school events, science days, or STEM weeks, multiple sessions can be delivered throughout the day to ensure everyone has the opportunity to take part.
