Chemical Sciences
Christmas SciTech
Students grow a crystal Christmas tree, mould a bouncy snowball, unmask mystery liquids with a colour-change indicator, make instant snow, launch Santa's sleigh and build a snowball catapult to take home.
Physical Sciences
Electricity
Students build working circuits, classify conductors and insulators, compare series and parallel configurations, and investigate how different energy sources, including hand-powered generators, produce electricity.
Physical Sciences
Force & Motion
Students measure forces with a spring balance, test friction across surfaces, feel inertia first-hand, launch reaction rockets, and explore magnetism and static electricity.
Physical Sciences
Heat & Energy
Students investigate how heat moves by observing particle movement, comparing conduction through plastic and metal using an infrared thermometer, and testing how insulators slow heat transfer.
Physical Sciences
How Objects Move
Students roll differently shaped objects, race a balloon-powered car, drop parachutes, launch foam pump rockets, and test what sinks or floats, exploring how pushes and pulls drive every outcome.
Physical Sciences
Light & Sound
Students sort materials as transparent, translucent or opaque, feel vibrations with tuning forks, build a box guitar to explore pitch, and create shadows with a torch.
Physical Sciences
Light
Students investigate reflection, refraction and diffraction using mirrors, lenses and diffraction gratings, with laser beam demonstrations bringing the physics of light into sharp, visible focus.
Chemical Sciences
Reactive Chemistry
Students investigate reversible and irreversible chemical change through real reactions: a polymer reversal, a sealed reaction bag and a teacher-led Elephant's Toothpaste demonstration.
Chemical Sciences
Materials & Mixing
Students identify mystery liquids, trigger a chemical reaction, transform a powder into instant snow, use a colour-change indicator, and separate iron filings from sand with a magnet.
Chemical Sciences
Natural & Processed Materials
Students sort real specimens by origin, process gelatine into bioplastic, test elasticity and shape memory in nitinol wire, and examine absorbency under digital microscopes.
Chemical Sciences
States of Matter
Students identify mystery matter in sealed balloons, grow crystals, compare liquid viscosities, watch gallium melt at body temperature, and make their own polymer bouncy balls.
Chemical Sciences
Wonderful World of Materials
Students sort and test everyday objects for magnetism, bounciness and waterproofing, discover that magnetic force passes through barriers, and build a friction-powered spinning top from paddle pop sticks and elastic bands.
Biological Sciences
Life Cycles
Students sort living and non-living specimens, model pollination with pipe-cleaner bees, examine seeds, set up their own mini-greenhouse, and observe live mealworms at different life stages.
Biological Sciences
Life Cycles
Students compare the life cycles of plants, insects and amphibians, investigate pollination and seed dispersal, and observe live mealworms to track an insect life cycle in action.
Earth and Space Sciences
Earth, Moon & Sun
Students model day and night, the Moon's orbit and eclipses using globes and torches, investigate orbital motion hands-on with a funnel and ping-pong ball, and launch water rockets.
Earth and Space Sciences
Earth in Space
Students model Earth's axial tilt, seasons and orbital motion at scale, explore the solar system and the speed of light, and launch Alka-Seltzer water rockets to connect forces to space travel.
Earth and Space Sciences
Natural Disasters
Students model convection currents, tectonic plate movement, water erosion, underwater volcanic eruption and tornado formation, connecting each process to real-world natural disasters.
Earth and Space Sciences
Our Changing Earth
Students simulate mechanical and chemical weathering, model water erosion on a sugar cube landscape, build layered sedimentary rock from plasticine, model the rock cycle, and excavate fossil specimens as palaeontologists.
Earth and Space Sciences
Water
Students identify mystery liquids including a polluted water sample, test for acid rain and pollution using a natural indicator, model the water cycle, and explore surface tension and how plants move water.
Earth and Space Sciences
Weather
Students model evaporation, condensation, transpiration and precipitation, investigate how temperature drives air movement, and build a shaving-foam rain cloud before making a tornado in a bottle.
Design and Technologies
Building & Construction
Young engineers build earthquake-tested cup towers, compare bridge designs to see why arches are stronger than flat spans, build and test their own pop-stick bridge, then design, compare and take home a catapult.
Design and Technologies
Building & Construction
Students build earthquake-resistant towers, discover why arches beat flat spans, build and load-test their own pop-stick bridge, and compare two catapult designs before refining and testing their own.
Design and Technologies
Building & Construction
Students tackle towers, bridges and catapults using the full engineering design cycle, designing, building, testing against measurable criteria and iterating to improve performance, plus a hands-on demonstration of why triangles resist twisting better than squares.
