Students get hands-on making their own bath bombs and lip balm.

In the morning, students will investigate neutralisation and the pH scale, and how that knowledge can be used to make the best bath bombs. In the afternoon, they will gain an understanding of states of matter by making their own lip balm.

This workshop takes place in the Urenco Young Scientist Centre’s teaching laboratory, offering students a unique opportunity to experience working in a real lab environment. For safety reasons, all participants must wear closed-toe shoes, and anyone with long hair is required to tie it back.

There will be a 30 minute supervised lunch break. Students should bring lunch and a drink.

For children who have just completed Years 3 and 4 this term - please book based on your child’s current/most recent school year, not their new year group from September. This typically corresponds to children aged around 7–9 years old. We reserve the right to refund or deny entry to those who are not in the correct year group.

Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.

Warning: this workshop contains some strong smells.
