How my body works

This active show requires lots of audience participation as students see the effect of exercise on our bodies. Exciting demonstrations bring to life the science behind the body's key organs and body systems.
National curriculum links: Organisms, behaviour and health. Also PSHE and PE.
Launch it!
Lower Key Stage 3
This dynamic and energetic show investigates forces and explosions. Students are actively involved in decisions over weight, mass, speed and friction as we explore the forces at work when launching a rocket.

NEW-Light fantastic

Where does light come from and how does it travel? Investigate LASER beams, observe light rays using smoke and mirrors and experiment with invisibility as we explore the nature of light.

Boggling brains
