Key Stage 1

National Science and Engineering Week.

15th -24th March 2013
Each year The Centre offers a special activity for NSEW and for
Key Stage 1 pupils this is a spectacular science show with a topical theme.

The 2013 show was called 'Show me the Scientist' which proved to be a hair raising experience. Using a Van der Graaf generator we created an electrifying experience for audience members; whilst an infra-red camera was used to detect sweaty feet and paint 'beards'. We made the invisible visible and revealed the scientists of the future - our visiting school pupils!

For 2012 the show was 'The Olympics Game Show'. Pupils voted to predict the outcome of interactive experiments including:tea with The Queen, building a skeleton and choosing an athlete's diet

For 2011 the show had a Chemistry theme to link with International Year of Chemistry. This was a huge success with the requisite loud explosions and flames!

For 2010 the show was 'Extreme Earth': a journey along Earth's timeline; discovering its explosive beginnings; experiencing some of its extreme events (earthquakes, storms and floods); exploring The Earth today and predicting its future.
