Primary School Chemistry Workshops & Incursions for Primary Schools

Chemicals are everywhere. Learn about the composition and behavior of chemicals, and classify solids, liquids and gases. Understand that all substances consist of atoms which can combine to form molecules, and the relationship between atomic structure and the properties of substances. Compare physical changes with chemical changes, and learn all about different chemical reactions and how they result in the production of new chemicals.

SCHOOL FEEDBACK

Our 3/4 students absolutely loved the incursion. They were able to participate in experiments that we would not have been able to do in class. Caleb was very engaging and enthusiastic. All of our students were engaged the whole time. It has been a highlight of the term for our students. We look forward to booking again through Mad About Science in the future. Thank you!

I just wanted to let you know how happy we were with the Mad About Science party today. Lee was a fantastic host—it was super hot and she managed the kids perfectly. They were really relaxed and happy with her. Thanks so much. We will definitely recommend you to others!
