Home Education Science with Michelle

Join us for a fun, inclusive hands-on science club. Sessions are led by Michelle Adams, an experienced science teacher with 20 years of teaching experience across KS2, KS3, and KS4.

Our Next Science Topic: Chemistry. What Is Everything Made Of?

Over the next six sessions, we'll be exploring matter, particles and chemical changes through hands-on experiments and investigations.

We'll start by looking at what matter actually is, before exploring how different materials behave, what happens when they change and how we can separate them.

4th November - What Is Matter?

What do solids, liquids and gases have in common? We'll investigate what matter is and discover that even invisible gases take up space and have mass.

11th November - Solids, Liquids and Gases

We'll explore the properties of solids, liquids and gases, and use simple particle models to help explain why they behave differently.

18th November - Changing States

What happens when something melts, freezes, evaporates or condenses? We'll investigate how heating and cooling affect materials and what happens to their particles.

25th November – Dissolving: Where Did It Go?

When something dissolves, has it disappeared? We'll investigate dissolving and explore what's happening to the particles.

2nd December – Has Something New Been Made?

We'll look at the difference between physical and chemical changes, carrying out experiments to help us recognise when a chemical reaction has taken place.

9th December – Can We Get It Back?

We'll investigate different ways of separating mixtures, including filtering and evaporation, and explore how we can recover substances..
