Everyone Is A Scientist is a fun, hands on introduction to science and scientific thinking, using senses to observe, have a guess and then have a test!  This chemistry workshop familiarises children with the idea that when two or more things mix, they can produce a third totally different thing. This is a very messy workshop, so if it is run as an incursion, access to a sink and cleaning facilities is a must.  All items used are taste safe.  (45-60mins)
