Chemistry Capers turns the classroom into a science lab full of colour and excitement. Students explore chemical reactions through fun, safe experiments that demonstrate mixing, dissolving and transforming materials. From bubbling potions to colour changing mixtures, participants learn how matter behaves and why reactions occur. The session connects these discoveries to everyday life, from cooking to cleaning, showing how chemistry is everywhere.
