Equipment (To join an entirely optional practical)


It is a good idea to have a whiteboard or paper, pen, ruler and calculator to hand in each session.


  • Ice cubes (approx. 2 trays full / 25 cubes, straight from the freezer, not plastic coated or gel ones, they need to be able to melt)
  • A piece of string (10cm ish)
  • A small plate
  • A medium sized mixing bowl
  • A tall narrow glass (pint glass or similar, the narrower the better)
  • A long spoon
  • Salt: At least 10 heaped tablespoons. Any will do but the coarser the better (road salt is fine)
  • Full fat milk (approx 100 mL (dairy free alternatives should work too)
  • A teaspoon of sugar or sweetener
  • Flavouring (vanilla extract, fruit puree or sauce...)
  • A thermometer, if you have two, even better!
  • You might want a cloth / towel to hand in case of spills

What might younger students need help with?
