Candle making, squirting water, freezing, thawing, glop and mud pie experiments -- things every student should do to explore the matter of matter. This ScienceWiz™ kit deliberately relates and explains favourite childhood activities to chemistry. The importance of this to later interest and accessibility is invaluable.

This kit enables a student to explore and develop a fundamental understanding of the key concepts of solids, liquids and gases while building a foundation for analytical thinking. Supplied in a plastic bag/

For ages 5-12.

Each Kit includes:
• A full colour 40 page booklet
• 2 pipettes
• 2 graduated cylinders
• A graduated measuring cup
• A balance scale to measure mass and for estimation experiments
• 3 balloons -- 28cm helium grade
• 2 shape balloons and 1 air pump
• 2 dart balloons
• 2 loom loopers
• 150g wax
• 2 sets of string
• 12 filters
• clay, baking soda, salt and sand

Student Experiments:
• Explores how the same matter can be in one of three states: a solid, a liquid or a gas and change state by heating, freezing, condensation and evaporation
• Explore the properties of solids, liquids and gases
• Measure, pour and shape liquids
• Predict and experiment with what pressure can do
• Discover that not all liquids mix together and that when they don’t, they sort by density
• Overfill, float and pipette water onto a coin to explore surface tension
• Sink and float an egg to explore density
• Dye a fan from the inside out and separate colors with capillary action
• Prove that the gases in air do exist
• React a solid with a liquid and produce and capture CO2 gas
• Discover that gases can be heavier and lighter than air
• Explore air pressure by squeezing an egg into a bottle and by holding water upside down
• Burn oxygen inside a jar and watch the displacement of its volume
• Measure the volume of a solid and manipulate the shape and density
• Explore mixing, solubility, filtering and crystalization
