Science

Developed by the BA, CREST Star Investigators is a brand new, UK-wide award scheme that enables children to solve scientific problems through practical investigation. The activities focus on thinking about, talking about, and doing science.

A whole day Science event. We will come into school and run a number of workshops that fit around your day and the age of your pupils. Choose from electricity, fair tests, data logging, floating and sinking, properties of materials and science investigations.

With alternative energy sources being explored worldwide, here is your chance to join in.  Children will explore how wind turbines work, and how different designs alter how much energy is generated. See how the shape, number and angle of blades changes the effectivness of the turbine.

With alternative energy sources being explored worldwide, this workshop gives students the opportunity to design and experiment with a wind turbine.  Studentswill explore how wind turbines work, and how different designs alter how much energy is generated.

Covers KS1 Science Curriculum ‘Physical Processes’ topic: forces, motion, light, sound, electricity

KS1 children work as a team to design an amazing fairground ride. An interactive 50 minute show from TIMEZONES, exploring physical processes: forces and motion, light, sound and electricity.

Covers KS2 Science Curriculum in full

Your KS2 pupils must work together, as the top secret RoboKid Development Team, to design a futuristic Cyborg capable of exploring a newly discovered planet. An interactive 50 minute show from TIMEZONES, tying together the whole science curriculum.

KS1 children work as a team to recycle the rubbish from the tip to make a recycling machine. An interactive 50 minute show from TIMEZONES, exploring materials and their properties, and recycling.

Future Town : Assembly Theatre Show

An interactive, assembly-style show where KS2 pupils work as a team to design the town of tomorrow.

Many pupils will be familiar with K’NEX, as a construction toy but now we are able to take them to a new level with the Knex Control workshops. Pupils will first be shown how to use the control station software before learning how the control a fairground ride.

KS1 children try out all the jobs involved in building a house. An interactive 50 minute show from TIMEZONES, exploring the construction industry: bricklaying, carpentry, plumbing, electrics, roofing and building-site safety.

Your KS2 pupils work together as they train for their future job as planetary engineers, in charge of constructing ‘Earth 2’. An interactive 50 minute show from TIMEZONES, exploring Earth sciences and chemistry.
