The Lab
Explore the world of chemical sciences
The Lab is an exciting, hands-on chemistry program that helps students discover how science is woven into every part of our lives, from the food we cook to the everyday products we use.
Throughout the day, students work in teams to conduct a series of engaging experiments that reveal the science behind materials and how they interact. They’ll investigate:
- States of Matter: exploring solids, liquids and gases, and how matter changes from one state to another
- Acidic vs Alkaline: discovering the pH scale and how substances behave based on their acidity or alkalinity
- Temperature and Reaction Rate: understanding how heat influences the speed of chemical reactions
- Solubility: learning what affects how substances dissolve, and why that matters in real-world situations
Using these discoveries, students combine scientific thinking with creative design to customise their very own bath bomb/fizz. They’ll experiment with colour, scent and packaging, and yes, they get to take it home!
This action-packed day links directly to the Chemical Sciences unit. It also fosters an enterprising mindset, helping students develop key skills in teamwork, creativity, critical thinking, problem solving, curiosity and innovation.
