• 200 ml Audran Pure Glycerin

Usual uses for glycerin

Glycerin is used in many industries, including skin care, hair care and oral hygiene .. in fact, glycerin is the third most-used ingredient in the cosmetic industry after water and fragrance!

Why?

Glycerin is widely regarded as the most effective humectant. Humectants are water-absorbing substances that help keep things moist. This property of glycerine helps retain moisture in the skin and ……. slows down the process of water evaporation in bubbles!

Become a Bugstronaut Engineer!

Fizz. Pop. Fly!

Can you help Fizzbit the Bugstronaut return home?

This exciting hands-on STEM activity transforms children into real scientists as they investigate the perfect launch conditions for their bug-powered rockets. Every launch is packed with suspense, excitement, and scientific discovery!

Add water and a fizz tablet to the rocket tube, snap on the bug-topped lid, and wait…

At first, nothing seems to happen.

But inside the tube, something incredible is taking place. The tablet is fizzing away, releasing an invisible gas called carbon dioxide. The pressure builds higher… and higher… and then…

POP! WHOOSH!

Your Bugstronaut blasts into the air!

A Complete STEM Investigation Kit

Bug Blaster isn’t just a rocket activity – it’s a complete scientific investigation that encourages children to:

Can you help Fizzbit get home? Join the Bug Blaster mission and investigate launch angles, rocket power and fizz-fuelled science through three exciting STEM investigations.

Ask questions
Make predictions
Carry out fair tests
Measure and record results
Identify patterns
Draw conclusions
Think like real scientists and engineers.

Three Missions. One Bugstronaut. Endless Discoveries.

Mission 1 – The Launch Angle Challenge

Become a Bugstronaut scientist! Investigate launch angle, discover how many launches one tablet can power, and explore how water affects rocket performance.

Which launch angle makes your Bugstronaut travel the furthest?

Mission 2 – Fuel Efficiency Investigation

How many launches can one fizz tablet power?

Mission 3 – Launch Power Investigation

How does the amount of water affect your rocket’s performance?

Each mission encourages children to experiment, collect evidence, and improve their designs—just like real space engineers.

Science iT!

This activity is part of the Science iT! range, where ordinary objects become extraordinary investigations. In Bug Blaster, an everyday effervescent tablet tube becomes a fizz-powered rocket laboratory!

Science It! is the hands-on STEM activity range from Science2Life, inspiring children to investigate, discover and ignite their curiosity through exciting science investigations

What’s Included?

Launch your Bugstronaut into the sky with this exciting fizz-powered rocket investigation kit. Decorate, experiment and discover the science of gas pressure and forces.

Everything you need to launch, investigate and think like a scientist!

10 reusable fizz rocket tubes

30 Bugstronaut toppers

5 tubes of effervescent fuel tablets (100 tablets) – enough for approximately 120 launches straight out of the box

Perfect for lessons, STEM clubs, science festivals and family events

Big launches. Big discoveries. Big smiles.

Because the best way to learn science… is to do science.

The Science Behind the Blast-Off

The fizzing tablets contain citric acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate (bicarbonate of soda).

Page 6 of the 14-page Fizz-Pop-Fly Teacher Mission Guide, providing scientific background, predicted results and teaching notes for the launch-angle investigation.

When they dissolve in water, they react to produce carbon dioxide gas.

Because the gas cannot escape, the pressure inside the tube increases.

Eventually, the force pushing on the lid becomes greater than the friction holding it in place…

POP!

The lid launches into the air carrying your Bugstronaut with it.

Children explore:

Chemical Reactions
Gas Pressure
Forces and Motion
Variables and Fair Testing
Data Handling and Interpretation
Scientific Enquiry Skills

Bugstronaut Craft Zone

Before launch, children can personalise their rockets by decorating the tubes with stickers, drawings, colours, and mission logos.

Can you design your own space programme and give your rocket a mission name?

Because every great astronaut needs a great spacecraft!

Why Teachers Love It

Does a longer launcher make the Bugstronaut fly higher?

Does it take longer to launch?

Does the extra space inside the tube affect the pressure build-up?

Children will:

Make predictions

Design fair tests

Collect and analyse data

Discover that engineers often need to test their ideas before knowing the answer.

This open-ended investigation introduces children to a fascinating scientific idea:

The size of a container can affect how quickly pressure builds up inside it.

Because sometimes in science…

bigger isn’t always better!

Then add a little call-out box:

Next best thing to a live show!

Enthusiastic, informative and interactive science shows delivered virtually – with pupil interactions built in!

Many of the items above are available in our online store!

When you book your Virtual Science Experience you will be:

• sent the show video (which has an introduction section tailored to your event). This can then be up-loaded onto your schools’ platform.
• sent a second video and pdf document at the same time – they give guidance on the interactive sections of the show (the parts Scientific Sue needs volunteers for) and on the hands-on workshop.
• posted the Experience Activity Box. This box contains the items and chemicals required for the interactive sections of the show and the subsequent hands-on workshop (for 30 children – want extra kits? Contact us before booking)

Scientific Sue would normally choose just one or two volunteers per sketch to help her out on stage during her live shows; this show is  virtual you, so you the teacher (facilitator), is now in charge of these sections of the activity. You will be guided to stop the video at certain points throughout the show. At these times:

1. You may stick to the programme and choose the number of volunteers Sue requests or
2. You can pause the video for longer and have extra helpers or
3. let ALL of your pupils do the experiment!

We love option 3! It is perfect for the classroom plus festivals, birthday parties and fun corporate events – This is the joy of not being constrained by a timetable built around an outreach programme which is not virtual.

We add the personal touch to your show video of choice!

Let us know about your event and the key messages you want your audience to be aware of. Scientific Sue will produce a short introduction video for you which will then be spliced into the video/s or your choice. Want your own introduction added? Just send us the clip via WeTransfer.

Your logo (plus other logos if the event is sponsored) will also be included.

Each ‘Virtual Experience Plus!’ activity comes with its own set of teaching notes and a short explanatory video for you the teacher (facilitator) on examples of how you can run the sessions as well as the virtual show video and accompanying interactivity box.

All of Science2Life’s STEAM ACADEMY workshops are designedto not only motivate and fire the spirit of discovery within children but also ignite curiosity in their minds.

Age Suitability: 6-13

Weather can be extreme, scary and devasting and the effects ofclimate change is just going make weather even scarier. No better topic for Scientific Sue to use her drama skills to entertain you!!

We all know about tornados but did you know fires can also spin! Join us to find out how fire tornados can be formed and why the Australian fire brigade call the eucalyptus tree ‘the gasoline tree’.

This show has given Scientific Sue a few engineering challenges too. Find out how a super flooding system, not fedby rain water but by Mentos (!) can be built. High winds and flooding can knock down bridges – sometimes these bridges are the life line for remote villages – volunteers will be needed to help build a pulley system out of balloons to help save the stranded villagers!

Something must be melting to cause the Earth’s water levels to rise. What is it? Thinking icebergs? Wrong!!

The consequences of any changes to our climate could lead tointense droughts, storms, heat waves and rising sea levels

– we don’t want to alarm you we want to scare you!

Scare you with crazy, innovative science demonstrations which will answer many questions about climate change but may also put your volunteer’s very existence in danger!

Warning: this show is at times educational however; it might occasionally be highly fictional. You should only partake if you want to enjoya creatively shocking but fun-filled experience!

How do different liquids flow?

How do different chemicals react together?

Which chemicals when mixed give you a fizz? Answer: Any acid (vinegar, fruit juice, citric acid) with baking soda.

What do we need our children need to learn?

• the language used around measurements such as weight, capacity, volume and time
• they need to know about  units used in the past, Imperial Units (ounces, pounds, yards, hectares, pints,etc) and the System International used today (see below)
• they need to know how to convert kilograms to pound, or litres to pints etc, as well as scaling up or down – a skill used by builders on a daily basis.

Teaching Volume and Capacity

The language around volume and capacity can be tricky because these words are not often used in daily conversation, and therefore can be confusing for our young ones.

A litre bottle has a capacity of 1 litre whether it is empty or full; however

Small Funnel

if the water bottle is full, the volume of water is 1 litre if the bottle is empty the volume is zero.

Grab some containers of different sizes (egg cups, beakers, plastic storage boxes, pots and pans), provide some water (in the sink, the bath, or a bucket outside), and let children compare capacities by filling and pouring from one to another. Encourage them to use language such as full, empty, contains more/less than. Can your child compare the containers and see which ones have less and which ones have more?

Make sure they check the capacities by pouring – we don’t want them to think that taller, thinner containers always hold more that shorter, wider ones!

All children love playing with water. To fill our syringe you have to pull the plunger our slowly; what happens if you pull the plunger too fast. Developing motor skills doesn’t always mean we have to be fast!

Encourage your children to talk about what they are doing. If you have more than one child – buying just one kit will develop their ‘work as a team’ skills.. (oops should I be saying that!)

The aim of any activity is for your child/children to see themselves as scientists and engineers – I will let you do the research on the job opportunities open to them and the potential salaries they could earn.

Thinking like a scientist is a skill set which has allowed many individuals and companies meet the COVID problems. Some have survived, many are flourishing!

Activities to try at home

Here are some ideas for fun, practical activities to harness your child’s natural love of playing with water while building their confidence with volume and capacity.

1. Water, water everywhere

Grab some containers of different sizes (egg cups, beakers, plastic storage boxes, pots and pans), provide some water (in the sink, the bath, or a bucket outside), and let children compare capacities by filling and pouring from one to another. Encourage them to use language such as full, empty, contains more/less than. Can your child compare the containers and see which ones have less and which ones have more?

Ensure they check the capacities by pouring and don’t think that taller, thinner containers always hold more than shorter, wider ones. Older children can start to compare more accurately by using measuring jugs, and by drawing their own scales on empty plastic bottles in non-standard units (e.g. egg cups) or standard units (e.g. 100 ml).

In this video Scientific Sue will show you how you can use the red cabbage powder in a very magical spell.

From the Latin amor (love) tentamen (attempt or effort), Amortentia is a powerful love enchantment. The spell doesn’t actually create love, but causes the target to be strongly attracted to a particular witch or wizard. Both muggles and wizards can fall under the spell of AMORTENTIA!

This video will take you through the steps you need to take to wow  your audience – Science Magic – Fun Guaranteed!

Secrets for Success:

Potions and Explosions Spell Book Click on this link for the full version of this and other spells!

Add a spoonful of the dried cabbage powder into the 60 ml cup. Top up with 40 ml warm water. Leave for 10 minutes. Use a sieve to remove the rehydrated cabbage leaves. You now have some “Dragon’s Drool’ to use in your AMORTENTIA Spell!

Prepare the cups before your audience arrives: place a spoonful of Dried Skin of Basilisk (Citric Acid) into one clear cup and Horn of Bicorn (Baking Soda) in to another.

Watch the video to give you an idea of a possible story line. Don’t forget this is your spell so you can make up any story to go with the colour changes.

Test other powders and liquid in the kitchen and bathroom, with adult supervision. Can you get any other colours? Use the Red cabbage card to give you some ideas.

A snippet from our teaching notes

Bromocresol green is a dye used as a pH indicator for many biological experiments.

Bromocresol green colour chart

A pH indicator is a chemical compound added in small amounts to a solution so that the pH (acidity or alkalinity) of the solution can be seen. The pH indicator is a chemical detector for hydronium ions (H3O+) or hydrogen ions (H+). The indicators change the colour of the solution depending on the pH. Some indicators only have 2 colour changes; Litmus (a solution of different dyes made from lichen)  is red in acid or blue in alkaline solutions.

Typical indicators are phenolphthalein, methyl orange, methyl red, bromothymol blue, and thymol blue. They each change colour at different points on the pH scale, and can be used together as a universal indicator.

Bromocresol green is yellow in solutions with pH values less than 3.8; green for pH values between 3.8 and 5.4 and blue for solutions with a pH value above 5.4.

Why does the bath water always turn the bubble bath blue?

The pH of pure water is 7, any solution with a pH less than 7 is considered to be acidic, and with a pH above 7 considered alkaline. However, tap water can have a pH value between 6.5 and 8.5. For all liquids which have a pH value greater that 5.4 the bromocresol green indicator in the soap will always turn a blue colour.
