Magnetic, slimy, bendy and smelly - join us for 60mins of materials investigation as we discover how the properties of materials determine how they are used and how materials can exist as a solid, liquid or a gas.

Pyrotechnics on stage, molten metals, expanding foams and many more materials are used to help explain the particle theory of matter and the difference between chemical and physical changes.

The materials show has links to both the design and technology, and science curricula.

This show is suitable for:

Key Stage 1 (Scottish: P1-P2)

Key Stage 2 (Scottish: P3-P6)

Key Stage 3 (Scottish: P7-S1)
