Welcome to A LITTLE bit of Science School Circuit
Where Reactions Rule and Curiosity Bubbles Over
Step into a world of colourful reactions, surprising states of matter, and bubbling curiosity with A LITTLE bit of Science—a playful yet powerful introduction to the wonders of chemistry for primary school students.
React with the Chemicals
This vibrant STEM circuit blends messy fun with meaningful learning, as students explore how everyday materials behave, combine, and transform. From foaming concoctions to surprising colour shifts, every station sparks investigation into what matter is made of and how it changes.
Hands-On Exploration and Experiments
Mix, stir, and observe safe chemical reactions that fizz, pop, and change before their eyes
Explore the differences between solids, liquids, and gases through hands-on sensory experiments
Test out pH indicators and investigate how acids and bases interact in colourful, bubbling ways
Discover how temperature, pressure, and combination affect chemical behaviour
Examine everyday materials under a scientific lens, transforming kitchens and gardens into mini laboratories
Make predictions, observe closely, and record evidence as real young scientists in action
Each activity is designed to align with the Australian Curriculum, encouraging critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and an understanding of material properties and changes. The circuit promotes cross-curricular connections with physical sciences, maths, and literacy through experimentation, discussion, and collaboration.
Ideal for Foundation to Year 6, A LITTLE bit of Science is perfect for schools looking to bring chemistry to life in an age-appropriate, unforgettable way.
Let curiosity take the lead as students learn through explosions (the safe kind), gooey wonders, and delightful discoveries!
