See what your pupils will experience during our Curiosity visit
Test other objects (apple, potato, coin, cork) in water. Pupils predict, test, and record results in a float-or-sink chart.
Hold paper strips below your lips and blow hard across the top — watch the paper lift. Discuss how aeroplane wings use this principle.
Draw a diagram of the human circuit. Label the conductor (hands), power source (stick), and output (light). What else conducts electricity?
The coin-and-card trick: balance a coin on a card on top of a cup. Flick the card away — the coin drops in. Test with different flick speeds.
Use a skipping rope to make waves — big slow waves vs small fast waves. Discuss how sound travels as waves through the air.
Drop different ball combinations from the same height. Predict and measure which goes highest. Record results and discuss why.
Test absorption: pour equal amounts of water onto a sponge, paper towel, cotton wool, and sand. Which absorbs fastest? Which holds the most?
Try the coin-and-card version: balance a coin on a card on a cup. Flick the card — the coin drops in. Test with different masses and flick speeds.
Make bubble solution (washing up liquid + water + sugar). Test different shaped wire frames — square, triangle, star. Which makes the biggest bubble?
Further questions, extension activities, and curriculum links for every demonstration are on the Interactive Worksheet — which can be completed after the visit, either online or printed.
A hands-on digital science challenge for every year group — built right into the browser
Grab the Orange Challenge — Discover how density affects buoyancy
Bernoulli's Windbags — How can one breath fill a 2.5m bag?
Human Circuit — Can your body conduct electricity?
Students record predictions, observations, and reflections for each of the 9 live demonstrations. The worksheet automatically adapts to each year group with age-appropriate questions and instant answer checking.
