PRIMARY SCHOOL SCIENCE
Would you like your school to offer a regular science after-school club featuring Vet School, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Innovation - taught using experiments, games, teamwork and design with some drama thrown in for good measure? Ask your head teacher to contact us!

Renewable Energy - How do we get Electricity from the Wind?
Our ART is in SPACE!
In the Spring of 2016, ScienceClubz students joined with other students across the world in producing art about asteroids and space and the origins of our life on Earth. ScienceClubz digitised this art and submitted it to NASA to be loaded on to a chip inside the spacecraft and taken to the Asteroid, Bennu, where it will remain for thousands of years. Nasa confirmed receipt of our submission and on the 8th September 2016, the rocket launching OSIRIS REx successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, along with our chip! Awesome!
- Your club can be set up any time through the term
- It costs the school nothing to set up and run
- We can help you - no matter where you are located
- Children build a portfolio of their science work through the year in their special ScienceClubz folders
- Special extra events are sometimes laid on for free - such as Nuclear Fusion demos from Culham Laboratory

How do Reindeer keep Warm in Winter?
Thanks to our relationship with the Cairngorm Reindeer herd, we will found out about the adaptations of these amazing creatures in our special Christmas workshop!
Vet School
Every year we include themes which develop over a series of weeks. During 2016/2017 this included the very popular "Vet School". One of our topics for 2017/2018 is Renewable Energy and another is Car Mechanics. Of course, we will learn about Electric cars as well as petrol and diesel-fuelled ones.

We believe that kids learning science should be shown techniques to unleash their creativity - then will we have future scientists who can dream up innovative solutions to our worlds challenges. Go on, get your kids to do some creative writing this week!
Our students start with a text book image of little green men, and then show an impressive ability to look at real evidence and re-evaluate their perspectives.

My two girls love ScienceClubz, they find the topics very interesting and it is relevant for both 6 year and 10 year
olds - they even enjoy doing the homework (!), it has truly enhanced their learning. I find the parents/home notes particularly useful as this helps me understand what they have
covered, provide help where necessary and build upon anything they want to know more about. The girls said the lab coats and safety glasses they wear when doing something practical make them
feel like a real scientist. The whole experience has given them a true passion for Science - thank you.

The Science of Smell
A number of intrepid junior scientists had a bash at the perfume design challenge and engineered their own creations. If you look closely - the ingredients of one can be seen in the photo - try it yourself - it smells fantastic - Roll over Chanel No. 5!
This could be the first picture you see of actual life on Mars!
Who would have thought that when asked "Who wants to look at a dead mackerel?" the whole class would say "YES!" and pretty much all of them got hands-on to feel the feathery gills of this amazing fish. The surface area needs to be large so the gills can get out the 1% or so of dissolved Oxygen from the water. Take a look at the short film snippet to see how and why it needs to use only DISSOLVED Oxygen!
