Have We Got Science For You! (KS3 & KS4, up to 100 pupils, 60 minutes)
An entertaining and informative general science show based on TV game shows such as 'A Question of Sport', 'Call My Bluff', and 'The Price is Right'. The show includes many demonstrations, most of which are easy for teachers to reproduce in class.
Cartoon Science (KS3 &KS4, up to 100 pupils, 60 minutes)
This multimedia show uses specially commissioned cartoons and a range of engaging demonstrations to compare scientific laws, which seem to apply, with what happens in the real world. This show covers many national curriculum areas including forces, as well as reversible and irreversible reactions.
Could It be You? (KS3, up to 70 pupils, 45-60 minutes)
This show examines probability and chance in a variety of situations from dice, coins and cards to genetics. It compares mathematical predictions with empirical results and finishes with a calculation to discover just how likely you are to win the National Lottery.
Meet The Gene Machine (KS4 and KS5, up to 60 pupils, 60 minutes)
An exciting interactive session which enables pupils to explore some of the personal, social and ethical implications of genetic testing. It begins with a short dramatic performance based on the set of a live television discussion show and is followed by a facilitated discussion which enables pupils to think about what genetic profile information can be used for and who should be able to access the information.
There is some specially commissioned teacher training to accompany this show, providing teachers with ideas and follow up material to continue discussions in future lessons.
Joining Forces (KS3, up to 100 pupils, 60 minutes)
Exploring forces through audience participation and unpredictable experiments! Covering topic areas such as gravity in space, measuring forces, rotational motion, electromagnets and vacuums, this show expands on pupils' knowledge of forces. Jump on a force plate, see a vacuum bazooka and sit of a chair of nails. All in the name of science!
