Exploring Matter

This workshop is fully booked for the 2023-24 school year!

What happens when we combine solids and liquids, and how are gases formed?

Happy young girl is looking at a smoking beaker in a chemistry environment.

Working in small groups with their adult chaperones, students will combine familiar household materials to create some surprising results that bubble, fizz, dissolve and mix (or don’t mix). They’ll see carbon dioxide turn directly from solid to gas and experience reactions that get warmer or cooler.

Grade Levels

Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3

Curriculum Links

Science 1: Matter is useful because of its properties
Science 2: Matter can be changed through physical and chemical processes
Science 3: All matter is made of particles
