Fizzy Volcano Preschool Science Lab – 13 Piece STEM Experiment Set

Make early science exciting with the Fizzy Volcano Preschool Science Lab – a colourful 13-piece preschool STEM set featuring 10 repeatable activities designed to introduce children aged 4 years and over to hands-on scientific exploration. From bubbling and foaming reactions to fizzy dinosaur fossils and icy prehistoric discoveries, the Fizzy Volcano Preschool Science Lab gives young scientists practical opportunities to mix, pour, observe and investigate.

Child-friendly laboratory equipment, including test tubes with stoppers, a fossil mould, a funnel, a pipette and a beaker, puts children at the centre of each activity. Instead of simply watching an experiment, they can take part in preparing it, observe what happens and talk about what they discover.

When the experiments are finished, the components store neatly inside the volcano base, helping keep this preschool science laboratory organised and ready for the next investigation.

10 Repeatable Preschool Science Activities

The Fizzy Volcano Preschool Science Lab includes 10 activities that can be explored and repeated.

The activities introduce children to different ways of investigating materials and observing change, with examples including:

  • Fizzy dinosaur fossil activities

  • Bubbling and foaming experiments

  • Slime pit exploration

  • Icy Jurassic discoveries

  • Mixing and pouring activities

Repeating an experiment can be valuable in itself.

Children may remember what happened previously and begin to anticipate what they think will happen next.

Adults can introduce simple scientific language:

What do you think will happen? → Try it → Watch carefully → What happened?

This provides an accessible introduction to prediction, observation and discussion.

Create a Fizzy Volcano Reaction

Few preschool science activities create quite as much excitement as a bubbling volcano.

The Fizzy Volcano Preschool Science Lab gives children an engaging setting in which to observe fizzing and foaming reactions.

Rather than simply seeing the finished result, children can participate in the process using the appropriate equipment and activity instructions.

They can observe:

  • Bubbles forming

  • Foam appearing

  • Materials mixing

  • Changes taking place

  • Reactions beginning and ending

These visible changes provide an immediate introduction to cause and effect.

Dinosaur-Themed Science Adventures

The Fizzy Volcano Preschool Science Lab combines early science with an engaging prehistoric theme.

Activities such as creating fizzy fossils and making icy Jurassic discoveries add imaginative context to the experiments.

For children fascinated by dinosaurs, fossils and volcanoes, this can make scientific investigation feel like part of an adventure.

Adults can extend the activity with questions such as:

  • What have you discovered?

  • What does your fossil look like?

  • What changed during the experiment?

  • What happened when we added the next ingredient?

  • What do you think will happen if we repeat it?

This keeps conversation focused on observation and discovery.

13 Child-Friendly Science Pieces

The Fizzy Volcano Preschool Science Lab contains 13 pieces designed to support the included activities.

Equipment includes items such as:

  • Test tubes with stoppers

  • Fossil mould

  • Funnel

  • Pipette

  • Beaker

  • Volcano activity base

  • Additional experiment components

The equipment gives children recognisable science-themed tools to use while completing the activities.

Everything is designed with young users in mind, providing a preschool-friendly introduction to laboratory equipment.

Experiment with Test Tubes

The included test tubes give the Fizzy Volcano Preschool Science Lab an instantly recognisable laboratory feel.

Children can use them as part of the supplied experiments, gaining experience handling and organising simple science equipment.

Test-tube activities can also introduce useful vocabulary such as:

  • Full

  • Empty

  • More

  • Less

  • Mix

  • Pour

  • Liquid

  • Bubble

  • Fizz

The stoppers provide another component for children to handle as part of the specified activities.

Pour with the Beaker and Funnel

Pouring is a simple action, but doing it accurately requires children to coordinate what they see with how they move their hands.

The beaker and funnel let children practise controlled transfers during appropriate experiments.

They need to position the equipment, judge where to pour and adjust their movements according to what happens.

This keeps fine motor and hand-eye coordination activities directly connected to the science experiment.

Explore with the Pipette

The included pipette introduces a different type of hand movement.

Rather than pouring from a larger container, children can use the pipette during specified activities to transfer smaller quantities.

The action involves:

Position → Squeeze → Collect → Move → Release

This provides useful finger and hand activity while also introducing children to another recognisable piece of simple science equipment.

Make Fizzy Dinosaur Fossils

The included fossil mould brings the prehistoric theme directly into the experimental play.

Children can follow the relevant activity to create a dinosaur-inspired fossil experience and observe the changes involved.

Combining a recognisable dinosaur theme with physical experimentation can be particularly engaging for preschool children who might not otherwise think of themselves as interested in science.

Explore Cause and Effect

The Fizzy Volcano Preschool Science Lab provides plenty of opportunities to observe a fundamental scientific relationship:

Action → Reaction

Children add or combine something and then observe what changes.

Adults can encourage them to look carefully rather than rushing immediately to the next stage.

Questions might include:

  • What changed?

  • Did anything start bubbling?

  • What can you see now?

  • Is it different from before?

  • Did your prediction happen?

  • What might happen if we repeat the activity?

The objective isn't for a four-year-old to explain advanced chemistry. It is to encourage curiosity about why things happen.

Observation and Early Scientific Thinking

Science begins with noticing.

The Fizzy Volcano Preschool Science Lab encourages children to look at materials before, during and after an activity.

They can compare what they see and describe changes in their own words.

This provides opportunities to explore early scientific processes such as:

  • Observing

  • Predicting

  • Comparing

  • Describing

  • Following a sequence

  • Asking questions

  • Repeating an investigation

These concepts are introduced through physical play rather than abstract worksheets.

Fine Motor Skills Through Science Play

Using the laboratory pieces requires a variety of controlled hand movements.

Children may:

  • Grasp test tubes

  • Remove and replace stoppers

  • Hold the beaker

  • Position the funnel

  • Operate the pipette

  • Pour

  • Mix

  • Handle experiment components

Each movement has a clear purpose within the activity.

This helps integrate fine motor practice into something children are actively trying to accomplish.

Follow a Sequence

Experiments often require actions to happen in a particular order.

The Fizzy Volcano Preschool Science Lab introduces this concept in an accessible way.

Children can work with an adult to follow the supplied activity instructions:

First → Next → Then → Observe

Following a sequence encourages children to listen, remember what comes next and understand that changing the order of actions can sometimes change what happens.

Repeat Experiments and Compare Results

The set includes 10 repeatable activities, allowing favourite experiments to be explored again.

Repeating an activity doesn't necessarily mean the experience is identical.

Children may notice something they missed the first time or make a more informed prediction because they remember the previous result.

Adults can ask:

"What happened last time?"

followed by:

"What do you think will happen this time?"

This begins to connect memory, prediction and observation within an authentic play experience.

Early STEM Learning Through Hands-On Discovery

The Fizzy Volcano Preschool Science Lab introduces STEM concepts without requiring children to understand advanced scientific terminology.

Instead, children encounter science through direct experiences with:

  • Materials

  • Measurement

  • Mixing

  • Reactions

  • Tools

  • Observation

  • Problem-solving

  • Cause and effect

This hands-on approach keeps early STEM learning accessible and enjoyable.

Durable, Easy-Clean Components

The Fizzy Volcano Preschool Science Lab is made from durable, easy-to-clean materials according to the supplied product information.

This is particularly useful for a set involving bubbling, mixing and messy experimental activities.

Follow the supplied cleaning instructions after use and ensure components are appropriately clean and dry before storing them.

Storage Inside the Volcano Base

With 13 components to organise, integrated storage is especially practical.

Store the pieces inside the volcano base after use.

This helps keep the laboratory equipment together between experiments and reduces the likelihood of smaller components becoming separated from the set.

Children can also participate in collecting and storing the equipment as part of the end-of-activity routine.

Home and Early Years Science Activities

The Fizzy Volcano Preschool Science Lab can be incorporated into different learning environments.

It can be used for:

  • Home learning

  • Preschool science activities

  • Early years STEM provision

  • Adult-supported experiments

  • Dinosaur-themed learning

  • Science-themed play

  • Fine motor activities

Its combination of structured experiments and reusable equipment gives adults several ways to revisit the resource.

Why Choose the Fizzy Volcano Preschool Science Lab?
