Pop-up Science Centre

Hands-on, Tabletop Exhibitions at your School, Community Space or Event

Transform your classroom, school hall or community space into a ‘pop-up’ science discovery zone with one or more of our interactive, tabletop exhibitions designed to inspire and engage young minds.

Aligned with the National Curriculum (England) for Key Stages 1, 2 and 3, each collection contains 8 to 12 hands-on exhibits to make learning science fun, accessible, and memorable. We can also advise on which collections may be adapted for Early Years settings.

An experienced member of our outreach team will set up the exhibits, run ‘carousel’-style sessions for your students and pack down at the end. All our staff are DBS-checked and fully insured.

Please note our current area of focus is Sussex, UK.

Electricity

Explore magnetism and electricity, test and construct circuits and learn about different ways to generate electricity. Make a battery using your own body and find out about materials and their capacity to conduct or insulate.

Forces & Magnetism

Magnets and gravity, pressure and pulleys, skidding, spinning and stress – investigate forces by applying pressure, building structures and balancing weights

Light

Explore the properties of light using mirrors, lasers and coloured filters. Freeze your shadow, take your eye apart and test yourself and fiends to see how well you see colour. Find out about moving images, pinhole cameras and fibre optics.

Life

What are we humans made of and what makes us tick? Use the models and the microscope to find out what goes on inside our body. Identify plants and animals and see how they fit into the Earth’s environment.

Materials

Our World is made of all kinds of materials; the way they are put together is fascinating and understanding them helps us put them to use. Explore the properties of materials by changing their state, inspecting them at close range and discussing their usefulness for a all sorts of of tasks.

Sound

Investigate how you can create and change sounds, test how well you can hear different noises and observe the patterns sound can make. See what your ear looks like from the inside and try your hand playing some unusual intruments.
