What We Do!

 

What will happen?

Hands on science will come to your home about 15 minutes before the entertainment begins. All materials and equipment will be provided. All you need is somewhere for guests to stand around, such as a kitchen table (with the chairs removed) and a small work surface for equipment.
There will be an hour and a half of safe interactive experiments, demonstrations, competitions, races and some surprises – but no mess afterwards!

If the weather is good , how about having the party in the garden?

Adults - sit back, relax or join in the fun! However, one adult must stay in the room at all times.

No need to worry about keeping your guests entertained!

They will be engrossed!

Most of the experiments can be repeated at home to further reinforce what children have learnt! You have been warned! …

Safety
As safety is paramount, science experiments are designed to be fun but safe. No dangerous or hazardous materials are used. Children are advised to wash their hands before eating. Safety glasses are provided, when requested children will have to wear them.

This Chinese proverb explains how most of us learn. Experience shows we learn quicker and then retain new information if stimulated through hands on experimenting...
