About a Session
A session comprises 2 short experiments followed by a story. Each session explores a new theme; the season, festivals or other celebrations.
Sessions last around 40 minutes. I bring all the equipment and importantly take all the washing up away at the end! This includes safety glasses where necessary and aprons. All experiments are risk assessed.
Due to the nature of the hands-on experiments needing close supervision I will require your staff to assist, such that I can work with 10 children at a time.
Sessions can be arranged half termly, monthly, fortnightly or weekly as suits your setting.
Topics include (but not limited to) Fizzy fruit, Making Sherbet, Valentines, Easter, Salty science, Making Ice cream.
