Using simple ingredients like soap, food colouring, warm water, and baking yeast, we’ll whip up a special mix that will dazzle everyone watching, while introducing the audience to catalysis and chemical reactions.
This popular experiment is not only fun but a great way to learn about chemistry. It is perfect for curious kids and parents alike, showing how chemical reactions work while making a colourful splash. Come for the fun foam and stay to discover the science that helps us understand reactions and catalysis – and help keep our ‘elephant’ smiling bright!
Please note that this activity does not last four hours and you can come in anytime between 10 am - 2 pm. Also, the capacity number indicated refers to the amount of total visitors we are able to take in for this activity throughout that four-hour time frame.
