Fizz, Boom, Bang is a highly interactive workshop that encourages pupils to explore the mysteries of mixtures and learn about colour changes and solutions. As part of the Generation Science Exploratory Laboratory pupils are briefed on the challenge ahead and protocols in the lab.
Pupils are divided into teams, each with their own workstation. Each team works through a range of experiments to create a cool, colourful, chemical reaction.

Fizz, Boom, Bang complements the following experiences and outcomes:
SCN1-16a: I can make and test predictions about solids dissolving in water and can relate my findings to the world around me.
SCN2-15a: By contributing to investigations into familiar changes in substances to produce other substances, I can describe how their characteristics have changed.
SCN2-16b: By investigating common conditions that increase the amount of substance that will dissolve or the speed of dissolving, I can relate my findings to the world around me.
SCN2-19a: I have collaborated in activities which safely demonstrate simple chemical reactions using everyday chemicals. I can show an appreciation of a chemical reaction as being a change in which different materials are made.
Learning Outcomes
• Describe that pH is an indication of how acid or alkali something is.
• Explain that indicator is a chemical which can tell us the pH of a chemical.
• Define a chemical reaction as when two or more things are mixed together, they change and produce something new.
• List the indications of a chemical reaction that can include production of heat, light, colour changes or gas production.
• Recall that a solid will dissolve or react faster in a solution if it is broken up into smaller pieces

This is a highly interactive workshop which encourages pupils to investigate the mysteries of mixtures and learn about solids, liquids, gases and fizzes. As part of the Generation Science Exploratory Laboratory pupils are briefed on the challenge ahead and protocols in the lab.
Pupils are divided into teams, each with their own workstation. Each team works through a range of experiments to create a fizzy reaction.

The workshop complements the following experiences and outcomes:
SCN0-15a: Through creative play, I explore different materials and can share my reasoning for selecting materials for different purposes.
SCN1-15a: Through exploring properties and sources of materials, I can choose appropriate materials to solve practical challenges.
SCN1-16a: I can make and test predictions about solids dissolving in water and can relate my findings to the world around me.
Learning Outcomes
• Explain that:
o solids stay the same shape no matter what container they are in
o liquids take the shape of the container they are stored in
o gases are difficult to keep in a container – they go everywhere
• Describe that a fizz happens when a gas is caught inside bubbles in a liquid
• Recognise that we can sometimes produce a fizz by mixing different chemicals

After our work with the Lidle Smoothy Bus we designed our own smoothies. We wrote recipies and made our smoothies. They tasted great.
