Mind-blowing Milk

Add the pack ingredients to a plate of milk and watch the psychedelic effect, enthrals pre-schoolers and adults alike. Pack contains enough for multiple experiments. Includes pipettes and pipette practice ideas. This is the experiment I recommend for all first time scientists.

Rockets

Each pack contains two rockets and enough dry fuel for about 12 launches. This experiment teaches perseverance and scientific thought. You decide on the dry/wet fuel ratio to get a successful launch. This is definitely an outside experiment.

Sound Science

Two great sound experiments, the screaming cup and buzzing balloons. Brilliant for sound effects. Collect all your disposable paper cups (from coffees, soft drinks etc) to make a whole orchestra! These experiments are very noisy - be warned.

Disappearing Ink

Blue ‘ink’ that disappears before your eyes. Little kids love to watch their drawing disappear. For older kids the pack contains information on how to make your own ‘Mission Impossible’ message – “this message will self-destruct in 5 seconds...”.

Chromatography

This wonderful experiment has lots of extension activities and could be made into a great science fair project. It is easy to set up and takes about 20 minutes to ‘run’, while you watch in awe as the colours in the felt-tip pens separate before your eyes.

Vortex Experiment

Make your own tornado in a bottle; just add two plastic drink bottles and water. Free plastic spider with each pack for added effect! Use smaller bottles for smaller children.
