The Cloud Factory
A super-sensory hands-on workshop for primary and SEN schools with an award winning science presenter.
Have you ever touched a cloud? Have you ever smelled or tasted a strawberry cloud?!
Using some special equipment, we make and explore dry ice clouds using all our senses. See the cloud, touch its softness, hear it being made. Then smell and taste it as flavourings are added.
Its a great way to talk about states of matter in a totally unforgettable session. We also cover predictions, testing and scientific observation. Every session is tailored to the children who attend.
The cost is for a full day of workshops. We'll fit in as many as we can so that we can work in the smallest groups possible.
Understanding states of matter and transitions between them in terms of energy.
Working scientifically, predicting, testing, understanding that even trained scientists get their predictions wrong.
For some students we work on a mostly sensory level, using scientific language and processes.
