Our curriculum-based workshops are an alternative way of teaching the school syllabus. Our workshops are carefully designed so that children benefit from learning about the chosen subject in a creative and fun way, often using drama, dance and music.

This workshop lets the children explore, how solids, liquids and gases are made up, also how they react to being heated or cooled, and what happens when a force acts on them. There will be a lot of team work involved, and points where the whole group must work together.

Discussion

All workshops will end with a quick discussion/ question and answer session, where we will see if the workshop has sparked enthusiasm/inquisitiveness. It also lends as a brief evaluation of how the session has gone, and it would be good if any teachers present could be involved in this.
