• 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!

Make Science Bounce—Literally!
Discover the awe and wonder of hands-on science with our Super Bouncing Bubble Kit. Specially designed for young scientists and bubble lovers, this STEM-inspired kit turns everyday play into an exciting scientific adventure.

What’s Inside the Kit?

Everything you need to start your bouncing bubble experiments right away:

• 50ml Super Bouncing Bubble Solution

  

  Boy holding a bubble

• 2 Magic Gloves (so you can catch and bounce bubbles)

• 1 Bubble Blower

• 1 30ml Mixing Cup

• Step-by-step Instructions

How to Make Bouncing Bubbles:

1. Open the bubble solution and carefully remove the seal.

2. Pour the bubble solution into the small plastic cup.

3. Slip on your magic glove.

4. Dip the wide end of the bubble blower into the solution.

5. Gently blow a large, tennis-ball-sized bubble – with the blower pointing downwards.

6. Raise your hand.

7. Flick the bubble into the air and catch it with your gloved hand.

8. Can you make it bounce? Try again and again!

9. Now bounce it from hand to hand – You are officially a Bubble Juggler!

Let’s Investigate:

Encourage scientific thinking with these bubble-based challenges:

• How many times can your bubble bounce before it pops?

• Does bubble size affect bounceability?

• What happens if you blow harder or softer?

• Can you bounce a bubble on wool, cotton, or rubber gloves?

• Which surface works best for bouncing?

Perfect for solo play or family fun, this activity builds skills in observation, prediction, and experimentation—all while having a blast!

Perfect For:

• STEM experiments at home or in the classroom

  

  Blowing bubbles

The post SUPER BOUNCING BUBBLE KIT – A Science iT! Activity appeared first on Science2Life.

Amaze your children or pupils with this magical colour changing bracelet kit and glow in the dark energy beads!

Kit contents

• 100 UV mixed colour changing / glow in the dark pony beads 8 mm x 6 mm
• 3 Scroubidou Strings (100 cm)
• 1 piece of soft cord (100 cm)
• 1 UV light pen
• Small tub

Indoors they are coloured dull white but will change into coloured beads (green, yellow, pink, blue or purple) once you expose them to sunlight or ultraviolet (UV) light. 

Make them into bracelets or necklaces or use them on hair braids.

The beads can be used to demonstrate the effectiveness of UV protection in sunglasses, during sun cream experiments or in Science2Life’s Mysterious Microbes Workshop.

• Change colour when exposed to sun or UV light
• Comes with 2 threading strings so that you can start your jewellery making immediately!
• Perfect for making bracelets, necklaces and other wearable craft items.
• Adult supervision is always advised

Research companies use these beads for testing the effects of sun cream and whether it’s able to protect skin from the UV rays. You can use them for research too!

They will change colour backwards and forwards many times. Test the ability of your sunglasses to block out ultraviolet light by covering a few beads with the lens of your sunglasses, if the beads do not change colour, your sunglasses block out harmful ultraviolet light from your eyes. If the beads change colour change your sun glasses!!

Test a variety of glass and plastic materials to determine which materials block out UV light.

This activity is a fun way to make sure your children are protected from the UV rays during the summer sun.

Continuous exposure to UV rays’ overtime will compromise the colour changing properties. The contact of sunscreen products on the beads can also impact on the colour changing pigments of the beads.

Warning: Keep away from small children and pets – choking hazard.

Science2Life’s Science iT! activities and programmes

Children love to be engaged in learning, especially through interactive projects that they can really get involved and be hands on with.

Science2Life’s Science iT! activities and programmes are part of our STEAM Academy. The activities use everyday life objects, toys and knick-knacks and turns them into fun, innovative, hands-on experiences designed to encourage children to:

• discover the amazing world of science and engineering
• to perform engaging activities that show how science and engineering is at work in their everyday lives
• to foster a lifelong love of science and engineering
• to give a basic grounding in scientific concepts and scientific thinking
• to increase children’s motivation to learn and
• enhance their perception, creativity and logic.

Hands-on learning is learning by doing.

Children involved in our ‘Science iT!’ activities and programmes are introduced to various STEAM learning methods and activities. Our creative programmes involve learning activities that require active thinking and experimenting to find out how things work. We all know how curious children are about the world around them and how they love using the word ‘why?’

The aim of our activities is to provide optimal learning opportunities that strategically help children grasp mathematics, engineering and science concepts.

With the inclusion of the arts component into STEM it makes it more fun to learn, and more approachable to children.

Art education allows children to learn things in a more open-ended way and make them applicable to real life.

Links to the curriculum

All of Science2Life activities can be used to entertain children – however they have been created with the curriculum in mind, so are perfect activities to generate mesmerizing examples of the topics they can be used to explore.

Plus our Science iT! activities can up scaled-up to be used in workshops within the classroom, for festival and birthday celebrations, which provide opportunities for children to collaborate on initiatives, explorations and creations.

The idea behind our Science iT! activities is to ignite children’s natural innate curiosity about the world around them (and the items in it) and to channel their enthusiasm for scientific discovery as early as possible.

Currently Science2Life have the following Science iT! activities:

1. The Magical EVANESCO Spell
