Bubble Challenges
There’s a lot of fascinating science that you can explore with bubbles. This kit includes bubble solution and some 3D shapes to help create some unusual bubbles.
Making Slime
Pupils can explore the properties of an unusual material by making their own slime – bouncy, squeezable, stretchy and gooey. Is it a solid or a liquid?
Microscopes
A set of three easy to use microscopes and samples slides – there’s no better way to change how someone sees the world around them than to see it through the lens of a microscope.
Whodunnit?
A necklace has been stolen and pupils need discover who took it. The kit allows them to use science to track down the thief.
Datalogging
Schools get 8 dataloggers which can record light, sound and temperature levels. These durable, easy to use dataloggers also come with 8 laptops which have the software pre-installed, and full instructions.
This kit will require a deposit.
Marble Mazes
Pupils make a route for a marble to travel down as slowly as possible without stopping. The only way to succeed is to constantly test and improve the design.
Tower Building
This kit includes ‘rolling sticks’, masking tape, hole punchers, nuts and bolts and enables pupils to turn recycled paper into amazing rigid tubular structures – towers, bridges, domes, display stands and anything else you can think of.
Control Technology
Utilising the Go software package, pupils will be able to learn a simple, flow-diagram based programming language which they can use with Flow-Go control boxes to operate simulated environments, such as traffic lights or railway crossings. This kit can also be combined with the K’Nex kit loan so that pupils can control their own models.
The kit includes 8 laptops with pre-loaded software and a deposit is required.
K’nex Construction
A versatile and colourful construction kit of rods and connectors which can be used to create towers, bridges, cranes, cars and fairground rides.
Puzzles and Games
A selection of puzzles and games (and solutions) which require the kind of logical thinking and problem-solving skills which are so useful in mathematics.
