Workshops

Dr Ken’s workshops enhance and complement his engaging science shows. They allow for in-depth exploration combining hands-on discovery learning with open ended investigations. School workshops are ideal for class-sized groups, with versions for different key stages and flexible session times ranging from 20 – 60 minutes.

Pupils have fun investigating the forces required to balance a feather on their open hands. Pupils have fun investigating the forces required to balance a feather on their open hands.

Circus Science

Forces investigation
Three goggle wearing high school pupils get ready to race one another to separate a mixture of 3 different solids into 3 different plastic bowls using only a sieve and their hands.

BIG BANG FAIR

Separation experiments
Pupils deep in concentration whilst attempting to see if light travels in a straight line. They shine a green light through 3 vertically aligned identical pieces of card, each card has small holes strategically placed at the same height.

Laser and Light

Class Activity
Small groups of School pupils discuss their designs for a wind turbine recycling activity.

Environmental Science

Recycling investigation
A group of Teachers learn to juggle with scarves and explore how air resistance really helps as the objects fall a lot slower.

Hands on Investigation

We have developed workshops for science weeks, STEM activity days, STEAM events, summer schools, pupil referral unit, secure units, home educators and CPD courses for teachers, ensuring that everyone can benefit from our unique approach to science education.

Dr Ken has researched the effect informal delivery methods have in the formal school environment through the funding of action research projects. This includes exploring how pupil led video resource production can reinforce their understanding of science principles and how behaviour is affected when taking part in informally delivered ‘fun’ circus activities.
