Hands-On Chemistry & Physics Workshops for Kids
Explore the magic of science through play! From erupting volcanoes to hydraulic presses, we turn core physics and chemistry principles into messy, hands-on adventures for young explorers.
Get ready for an eruption of fun! Our volcano experiment is a classic for a reason. We guide the children as they mix the ingredients and watch their creation fizz and overflow in a safe and exciting chemical reaction.
Learning together is the best kind of fun. Our parent-child workshops, like this pottery session, are designed for families to connect, create, and get their hands dirty while exploring the science of materials and motion.
An instructor helps a young boy with a spin art project. By adding drops of paint to a spinning canvas, kids learn about centrifugal force while creating a unique masterpiece.
A father and daughter work together on the pottery wheel. This tactile activity is a wonderful introduction to physics, demonstrating how force and motion can shape clay into a vessel.
Three, two, one, blast off! This video captures the high-energy moment of a rocket launch workshop, where kids learn about aerodynamics and potential energy.
The beautiful results of a day of creativity and science. Here are the finished spin-art canvases and miniature clay pots from one of our STEAM workshops, each one a unique piece made by a young artist.
Watch the volcano erupt! This video shows a group of young children, including toddlers, enjoying a safe and simple volcano-making activity with their parents.
About this collection
Our sessions are designed to be messy because that is where the real learning happens. When your child mixes ingredients for a chemical reaction or builds their own hydraulic system, they are not just watching a demo; they are figuring out how the world works, one experiment at a time.
Science should not be stuck in books. At The Whiz Lab, we take the principles of chemistry and physics and bring them into the real world. Whether you join us at our Byculla lab in Mumbai, our RR Nagar space in Bangalore, or one of our pop-up events in Perambur, Chennai, you can expect the same high energy and hands-on approach.
Why Hands-On Science Matters
When a child creates their own volcano and watches it erupt, they understand the chemical reaction between acids and bases far better than they would by reading about it. When they spin paint on a canvas, they grasp the concept of centrifugal force through motion rather than theory.
What We Do
- Explosive Chemistry: We make 'lava' and 'potions' using safe household materials to teach kids about reactions and states of matter.
- Physics in Motion: From building hydraulic presses to understanding sound waves with vibrating platforms, our physics stations are all about movement and function.
- Parent-Child Collaboration: Our sensory-focused workshops for the 3-6 age group allow you to get involved, too. It is a great way for parents to guide their little ones through simple experiments.
Every session is guided by our team, ensuring that while things might get a little loud or messy, the science remains accurate and safe. Your child will not just learn; they will build, experiment, and walk away with a deeper curiosity about how everything around them functions.
The Whiz Lab
We are The Whiz Lab, a team of educators who believe science belongs in the hands of kids, not just in textbooks. We turn physics and chemistry into a playground where every experiment leads to an 'aha!' moment.
