This workshop will develop pupils’ knowledge of atoms and molecules and their behaviour as well as using Scratch to model different states of matter and simple chemical reactions.
Eye of the Storm
The Eye of The Storm workshop supports the Theatr na nÓg production introducing children to physics and computational thinking.
Block That Noise!
Ever want to shut your alarm up in the morning? This pack is for you! This pack will teach you about sounds and how we can insulate devices inside objects to stop sounds from reaching them. What you’ll need: – Cardboard or Tupperware box – something with a lid – Household items you can use as insulation e.g. cotton wool, … Read More
