PRIMARY WORKSHOPS

Dedicated to 6-11 years old with a 90 minutes durations

Hands on Learning

Hands on learning experiences that allows students to explore and experiment scientific concepts in a practical way.

Student Engagement

Science workshops are designed to engage students by making science fun and interesting.

Curriculum alignment

Workshops are aligned with school curriculum ensuring that content is relevant to what students are learning in the classroom

Let's discover... Earth!

What are plate tectonics and why are they moving? Why volcanoes and earthquakes are happening? What is the difference between weathering and erosion and why our planet is constantly changing?
Our little geologists will find out all about this when exploring the early Pangea continent, look into the fascinating world of gems and minerals and inquire about the journey through the rock cycle while having a closer look into the Earth's layers.

Let's discover...
Genetics and DNA!

Why is DNA considered the code of life? How does it look like? What is the relationship between phenotype and genotype? How dominant and recessive genes are inherited from our parents. This interactive workshop will definitely answer your questions and not only! Learn to read a DNA sequence and create the cutest new specie of bugs! Be part of our forensics team to give a hand in solving a paternity dispute.

Let's discover...
Five senses!

How are our senses related to science? What makes you able to see, hear and smell? Discover your senses while exploring inside a giant ear, mixing perfumes in test tubes and looking at light through special lenses. Find out how different animals see and how you would hear underwater. Finally, get ready for a very noisy challenge while we’ll search for the student who can make the loudest sound!

Let's discover...
Forces and motion!

What is a Force? How can forces affect motion? This interactive workshop gives young physicians the chance to experiment with gravity, pushes and pulls, ramps and springs scales. They will approach appropriate language to describe forces and their relationship to change in motion. Younger students will investigate magnetism while older will be introduced to inertia and weight vs mass.

Let's discover...
Structures!

What factors should we consider when building a structure? What is the difference between strength and stability? Become a junior engineer to explore the forces that affect strength and stability, test different materials and shapes and bring it to reality investigating bridges. Finally look at famous UAE’s building and infrastructures to find out why they are built they way they are.

Let's discover...
Changes in matter!

Did you know that matter can change in different ways? What is the difference between physical and chemical changes? Learn how to recognize signs of those changes while conducting fun and spectacular experiments. Be amazed by how a chemical reaction can launch a rocket and get ready to discover sublimation with the most amazing dry ice experience!

Let's discover...
Energy!

What is energy and how many forms of energy do you know? How is renewable energy used? Become energy’s expert and learn the difference between potential and kinetic energy while experimenting with elastic, gravitational and chemical energy. See how to use renewable sources, as wind, sunlight and hydropower, and test your skills in building your own battery!

Let's discover...
Weather!

Where do rain and snow come from? What is wind and how strong is a storm? With this workshop young meteorologists will find out how the water cycle affects the weather, how to use anemometers to measure wind and how to make frost with a simple experiment. They will even have a close look to rainbows and finally make amazingly loud thunders.

Let's discover...
Properties of materials!

How many properties of materials do you know? How can we sort out materials according to their properties? Get ready to conduct experiments about absorbency, build simple circuits to find out about conductivity and use springs scales to learn about strength. Discover how to make a material stronger by changing its shape and finally test your building skills under our amazing crusher!

Let's discover...
Air!

What are the properties of air? Can we squeeze air or weight it? How does air move and why? Who will be the fastest to blow up a balloon? During our Let’s discover ..Air! workshop, children will conduct different experiments and hands –on activities to reinforce concepts such as gas pressure, air composition and even Bernoulli’s principle. We will understand that air is all around us, taking its space, even if nobody can see it!

Let's discover...
Light!

What is light and why do we see it? How does light travel? Join us in an optical adventure while investigating light spectrum, looking at rainbows and UV ray. Discover that light is a form of energy and learn how to use it. Inquiry about reflection and refraction and finally understand why it is so important to wear sunscreen to protect yourself.

Let's discover...
Electricity and circuits!

What is electricity and how does it moves? Can we identify a good conductor? With this electric workshop children will investigate the properties of electricity, building parallel and series circuits and understanding how home appliances are connected. They will learn concepts such as “conductor” and “insulator” and discover that we all can be part of a huge electrical circuit!

Let's discover...
Solids, liquids and gases!

Why solids and liquids are different? What happens if we mix solids with liquids? While conducting all sort of hands-on activities, students will explore the properties of the different states of matter looking at their shape, their behavior in different containers and also at solubility and buoyancy. A great explosive surprise will make them remember this workshop as an experience that really “mattered”!

Let's discover...
Sound!

What is sound and how does it move? Can it travel through different materials? How can we hear it? This workshop introduces the idea that sound moves in waves and investigates some of its properties. Children will inquire and make predictions while conducting simple experiments and they will bring home a loud surprise!

Let's discover...
Solar System!

Why do we experience day and night and see moon phases? How big is the Earth compared to the other planets? Why there are craters on the moon? Get amazed by the fascinating wonder of space and find out about shooting stars, asteroids and comets. Learn the difference between inner and outer planets and finally be surprised to see how real meteorites look like!

Let's discover...
Sustainability!

Why it is so important to save water? What’s the meaning of pollution? What is green energy? Introduce children to environmental science with this unique workshop. Students will test how pollutants work in freshwater and will be able to experiment with solar panels to discover renewable energy.

Let's discover...
