Always rooted in real and concrete science and taking their lead from the Curriculum - but taking approaches from the world of the arts - our  Science workshops for primary schools in Scotland (P1 - P7) provide an excellent way of engaging students with science and supporting them in understanding the world (and worlds) around them. 

Delivered by practitioners who are passionate about science, these exciting programmes use drama-based approaches to cement existing learning, clarify difficult concepts, challenge thinking and introduce new content.

We know how complex delivering whole-school approaches to science can be, so you can now book a Big Science Day for a number of year groups, comprising either different workshops exploring a number of topics - or a range of age-differentiated activities on a single scientific theme!
