1 Mind Boggling Matter Solids, liquids, gases - all matter - are made up of atoms. How the atoms are bonded to each other can have a huge impact on its properties. Let's explore the matter around and see what forms it can take and how we use forces to change its properties.

2 Tuesday 29th May 2018 Use the Force Energy is everywhere, transforming all the time. Brace yourself as we travel back in time and use classic toys to investigate the science of motion! Examine how Newton's forces play a role in the universe. Forces of Flight - How are we able to fly when gravity pulls us down? Let's look at the forces involved in flight. Equal and Opposite forces - How strong is a vacuum? Can we have a tug of war using air pressure? Make - design and construct your own catapult. Potential and Kinetic energy - Look at wind up toys, springs and yo-yos to see how stored energy changes to moving energy. Friction - Test the cars on the tracks and see if you can be the fastest car down the track using the different surfaces. Slowest marble run - How slow can you go? What forces can affect the marble? Air takes up space - See how air can be an opposing force and used to create tornados and fill parachutes. Make - a balloon powered car.

3 Wednesday 30th May 2018 Fairground Science Why don't you fall off a rollercoaster ride? How can water stay in an upside down bucket? Let s encounter the centripetal forces that make us spin around. Centripetal Force - Explore how this force is used in the lab, at amusement parks, in gyroscopes and even washing machines! Make - Whirling hex nut balloon. Spirograph pictures - Understand how Spirographs work to create intricate circle patterns. Salad Spinning Art - Creating art using centripetal force. Circus Skills - Explore Juggling, Hula Hooping and plate spinning. Loop the Loop - Understanding the basics behind our favourite rollercoasters, and how they work. Candyfloss - looking at the science behind how candyfloss is made, and getting a tasty take home!

4 Thursday 31st May 2018 Energetic Electrons Attracted to Science? If not you soon will be! Investigate truly magnificent magnets, and get ready for some hair raising action! Explore electrical properties and magnetism as a natural phenomenon. Exploring Magnets - What makes something magnetic? Discover the secrets to magnetism and how it can be transferred in our paperclip challenge. How attractive - Magnets can be very strong, repelling and attracting other objects. Investigate how you can make a magnet float. Make - Magnetic Funny Faces. Make - Static Super Heroes. Static Electricity - Explore the natural phenomenon created with friction and see what is attracted or repelled by a variety of materials. Van De Graff Generator - create lightning before your very eyes and feel the force of static electricity build on your hair. Series & Parallel Circuits - Complete electrical circuits using switches to turn on light bulbs, buzzers and fans. Find out how all these components can be arranged in a parallel circuit to get them all to turn on with a flick of a switch!

5 Friday 1st June 2018 Polymer Science Polymers are made up of many, many molecules all strung together to form really long chains. What makes polymers so fun is that how they act depends on what kinds of molecules they're made up of and how they're put together. Find out which ones are rubbery, sticky, gooey or hard! Super absorbing polymer; investigate a compound which can absorb up to 25 times its own weight. Shrinking plastic; make a key ring with this smart material that shrinks with heat. Non-Newtonian fluid; discover a mixture that has the properties of both a solid and a liquid. Silky play-dough; use household ingredients to make this tactile dough. Silly putty; explore chemicals that can make instant reactions to form long chains of polymers. Dissolving Plastic - make polystyrene disappear right before your eyes. Oil spill clean up; if there was an oil spill in the ocean how could we clean it up? Experiment with booms and see a demonstration with an oil absorbing polymer.
