The workshops:
Materials
Get set for a fun and engaging chemistry workshop. What are conductors and insulators? Let’s find out! Students will discover how different materials keep in heat. They’ll need to work scientifically to carry out a fair test and experiment with different materials.
Coding
Can we use coding to help humans reduce the impact we have on Earth? In this computing workshop, we’ll find out. Students will use microbits to create their own tunes and code them to check out their environment. Let’s work together to develop our STEM skills for a better future.
Life
Our fish are being mysteriously killed! It's the job of budding biologists to find the cause and come up with a solution. Find out about the effects of pollution on our oceans and play a game to discover how carbon dioxide is damaging them. Explore the food chains of our waterways. What damage is climate change doing to aquatic life?
Add some science wow to your school assembly!
Sit back and get ready for some wow moments! Our Inspirer will take your students on a journey of discovery about the state of our planet. There’ll be awe-inspiring demos such as the epic whoosh bottle and explosive hydrogen balloon. Future scientists will be left with a lasting memory of how to work scientifically. And the next generation of planet protectors will be inspired to make a difference.

Accessibility info
Accessibility information for in-school experiences
Our in-school experiences have been designed with accessibility in mind. If you'd like to talk to us about your pupils' individual needs before our visit, please contact our Accessibility team. That way we can make sure all children can get the most out of the experience.
Letting children have practical experiences that raise science capital and shows them different careers is important.
Out staff now have a better understanding and confidence in teaching science curriculum.
We don’t always have the equipment or time to give students this experience. There was such a wide variety of resources. It was so good to have the Science Centre in as we can’t do all these things.
