This year’s theme for National Science and Engineering is “Our World in Motion”. We have the following themed workshops to fit in with the topic.

Rocket Mice KS1
Explore forces and motion using rocket mice powered by empty plastic bottles.

Marble Mazes KS2
Pupils make a route for a marble to travel down as slowly as possible without stopping. They discuss their ideas beforehand, are encouraged to test their design every time they change it and decide what worked best at the end.
