Sizing up the solar system
Sizing up the solar system Our solar system is an exciting place. It is full of planets and other strange objects. Some are big and some are small. Some are

Renewable Energy
Renewable Energy What is renewable energy and how can ecological electric power be produced? In this workshop learners will investigate the various ways on how to generate electricity from non-renewable

State of matter
State of matter Find out more about the exciting world of solids, liquids and gasses. In a fun and interactive way learn more about how atoms and molecules behave when

Earthquakes
Earthquakes In this workshop learners will use and interpret real earthquake data. By analysing the data learners are able to recognize plate boundaries and to develop a basic tectonic map.

Wandering continents
Wandering continents Come and catch the drift! Using “playtectonics” we embark on a journey through time to explore Wegener’s hypothesis of the wandering continents and as shift happened on how
