Pupils are challenged to find the faults in a series of electrical circuits. The activity encourages them to take a systematic approach to problem solving and reinforces the skills required for drawing simple circuits.

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.

Pupils are challenged to find out which everyday objects can be used to complete a circuit and light a bulb. They carry out their own experiments and see if they can use their results to work out ‘the rule’ for predicting which objects will work.

Pupils talk about air and how to use it to make things move, before making a model monster whose mouth opens when a balloon is inflated.

This show takes pupils on a whistle-stop tour of forces and motion, allowing them to develop (or refresh) their knowledge and understanding about the topic….

This show encourages pupils to ask ‘How?’ and ‘Why?’ as they use their observational skills, knowledge and creative thinking to figure out the science behind amazing magic tricks…

Our friend Isobel is a great inventor, or so she thinks. However with the pupils’ help we soon discover that she has chosen some unusual materials for her inventions, and that she needs to think…
