Forces Show
KS1
Key Stage One - ages 5-7
Pushes and pulls, making things move and slowing them down. Have fun with mysterious magnets, find out why all the penguins don't fall off the Earth at the South pole and unleash the aweseome force of rockets to take a trip to the stars!
- Duration: ~45 mins
- Curriculum Links
- Capacity: ~35 children + adults
KS2
Key Stage Two - ages 7-11
Feel the friction, mess with magnets and get to grips with gravity! What actually slows things down? Do heavy things really fall faster? Is there gravity on the moon? Action and reaction, equal and opposite forces, and hands-on experiments with rocket power take you out of this world to discover that forces feel very different in space.
- Duration: ~45 mins
- Curriculum Links
- Capacity: ~30 children + adults
