Gardens of Experiences
Grades 4–6
For students in grades 4–6 of primary school, Łukasiewicz – PORT has prepared a rich offer of educational workshops that combine science with fascinating fun.
Thanks to hands-on experiments conducted in professional laboratories, students not only expand their knowledge but also develop analytical thinking skills and teamwork abilities.
Exploring pH
What is pH, and how can it be measured? How does a lemon differ from citric acid? Are all soaps the same? During the workshop, young lab assistants will answer these and other questions. They will learn how to use natural pH indicators and become familiar with the pH scale. They will discover that many household substances change color depending on the environment they are in. It will be sour, alkaline, and… colorful!
- Group size: up to 30 participants
- Duration: 60 minutes
- Price: 25 PLN / person
What’s meant to float, won’t sink
When we throw a stone and a rubber duck into the water, the first one sinks to the bottom, while the second stays afloat. Similarly, people and animals can float or dive whenever they want. How is that possible? During our workshop, young explorers will discover the factors that affect how objects behave in water. Then, they’ll use their new knowledge to create a colorful water tower experiment!
- Group size: up to 30 participants
- Duration: 60 minutes
- Price: 25 PLN / person
The World of Minerals
Participants will discover the secrets of rocks and minerals through real laboratory experiments. They will independently test the hardness of minerals, identify their features under magnification, check which ones glow under UV light, and create their own gypsum casts. The classes will show them how crystals are formed, and at the end each participant will receive a kit for growing crystals at home. It is an excellent opportunity to combine science with creative fun and spark students’ passion for discovery.
- Group size: up to 30 participants
- Duration: 60 minutes
- Price: 25 PLN / person
Sensory Slime Lab
Smell, sight, touch, hearing — just a few of our senses! But what about super-sticky liquids or vinyl polymers? Sounds mysterious? During this workshop, participants will run sensory experiments in the lab and finish by creating their very own slime to take home. Fun guaranteed!
- Group size: up to 30 participants
- Duration: 60 minutes
- Price: 25 PLN / person
The Scent Lab
During the classes, we will examine how our sense of smell works. Young lab assistants will learn how perfumes are made and what essential oils are. They will discover where natural oils come from and what properties they have. After the workshop, participants will receive a sample of their own handmade perfume.
- Group size: up to 30 participants
- Duration: 60 minutes
- Price: 25 PLN / person
Fluorescence in Action
What do turmeric, tonic water, and vitamin B12 have in common? They all glow under UV radiation! Participants will reveal the magical, fluorescent side of various substances. Some of them, such as chlorophyll, they will extract themselves from plants. At the end, they will turn into scientist-artists by creating coded pictures using fluorescent dyes.
- Group size: up to 30 participants
- Duration: 60 minutes
