Step into the fascinating world of bubbles! This hands-on workshop brings science to life by exploring core principles such as gas properties, pressure and surface tension. Through engaging activities and interactive experiments, students experience the magic of bubbles while developing a deeper understanding of essential science concepts.
Bubbles Blowout is one of our most popular workshops — and for good reason. Students explore gas properties, surface tension and air pressure through spectacular, hands-on bubble experiments that make abstract science concepts tangible and unforgettable.
EYFS and KS1 students explore bubble shapes, sizes and colours through playful investigations. KS2 students dig deeper into the physics — surface tension, air pressure differentials, and why bubbles are always spheres. Every activity builds scientific enquiry skills.
Perfect as a standalone science day or as part of British Science Week. Students leave with a genuine understanding of forces and materials — and a big smile.
Each session includes live demonstrations, practical experiments, and hands-on challenges where students directly manipulate materials and test scientific ideas. No screens — just engaging, tactile learning that builds confidence and curiosity.
Students use an airzooka combined with a smoke machine to fire visible vortex rings across the room — exploring how air moves and how invisible forces can be made visible.
All year groupsUsing effervescent tablets and water, students build pressure inside sealed pots until — POP! They launch into the air. A brilliant way to explore gas expansion and pressure build-up.
All year groupsStudents create a real cloud inside a bottle by manipulating pressure and temperature — a hands-on demonstration of condensation, air pressure and states of matter.
KS1+Using a special solution, students create bubbles that can actually bounce on gloved hands! They explore surface tension, material properties and why regular bubbles pop on contact.
All year groupsThe grand finale! Students use a giant bubble ring to create enormous bubbles — exploring why bubbles are always spheres and how surface tension works at scale.
All year groupsStudents can explain how gases behave and why bubbles form the way they do.
Students practise predicting, testing and drawing conclusions from experiments.
Students understand that bubble surfaces behave like elastic membranes and can explain why.
Students connect science with art and design through creative bubble activities.
