WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: Young children naturally investigate using their senses and providing a rich, multi-sensory experience can help to build curiosity. Join this workshop to explore how everyday kitchen ingredients can be used to begin in inquiry into concepts such as dissolving, mixturing, and separating. We will tease out the science concepts of each activity to help you build your confidence in exploring chemistry with children.
