Our Workshops
*A minimum number of participants is required for the programme to commence.
Forces and Energy
Lesson 1 - How can I make an object move?
Time: 1:30pm to 2:30pm (min 5 children)
Get ready for an exciting exploration of motion! Children will dive into the fascinating world of movement by observing and discussing how different objects move in various ways. As part of the fun, they’ll also assemble and decorate their very own roly poly toy, bringing the concept of motion to life in a hands-on, creative way.
Forces and Energy
Lesson 2 - Why Do objects fall to the ground?
Time: 1:30pm to 2:30pm (min 5 children)
An adventure in the world of gravity awaits! In this hands-on experience, children will dive into an exciting storybook that sparks their imagination by exploring what their classroom would be like without gravity. They’ll then bring the concept to life by wrapping a toy soldier in a parachute and watching it float gently back to the ground—thanks to gravity’s pull! The fun doesn’t stop there—our little scientists will also craft their very own ‘Magical Gravity Jellyfish Bottles,’ where they can observe how gravity causes the jellyfish to move in mesmerizing ways.
Magnetic Forces
Lesson 3 - What can a Magnet Do?
Time: 1:30pm to 2:30pm (min 5 children)
Plunging into an exciting magnetic adventure with us! In this hands-on learning experience, children will test everyday items like paper clips and metal spoons to discover which ones are magnetic, sparking their curiosity about the world around them. They'll then witness the magic of magnets as they move iron filings in a bottle and make a compass needle dance, exploring how magnets work in real time. The fun continues as they embark on a classroom scavenger hunt, finding magnetic items, before assembling and using a magnetic toy car to bring their discoveries to life!
Magnetic Forces
Lesson 4 - What are Opposite Forces
Time: 1:30pm to 2:30pm (min 5 children)
Gear up for an action-packed exploration of forces! In this hands-on session, children will have a blast experimenting with a ball launcher and rocket toy, discovering how gravity, wind, and other forces make objects soar and fall. They’ll dive from matching illustrations to exciting force-related scenarios, like gravity pulling objects down or magnets attracting metal. The fun doesn’t stop there—kids will craft their own rockets, learning firsthand how magnetic and gravity forces work together to launch and pull objects.
Simple Machines - Levers and Pulleys
Lesson 5 - What can a Lever Do?
Time: 1:30pm to 2:30pm (min 5 children)
Get ready for a thrilling exploration of balance and force! In this action-packed session, children will dive into the world of levers, experimenting with a setup to see how objects are magically lifted by simple force. They’ll uncover the secret spots like the fulcrum (the balance point) and the board through a seesaw setup. But the fun doesn’t stop there! Each child will personalize their very own wooden seesaw, adding a creative touch and testing how it balances in real-time.
Simple Machines - Levers and Pulleys
Lesson 6 - What Can a Pulley Do?
Time: 1:30pm to 2:30pm (min 5 children)
A learning journey about opposite forces! Children will start by exploring the parts of a toy fishing rod, discovering how the rope and wheel work together like a pulley system to help them "catch" toy fish. They’ll unleash their creativity by designing their own flag or decorating the Singapore flag and proudly attaching it to a flagpole. If time permits, they’ll get inspired by different flag designs, sparking ideas for their own creations.
Energy
Lesson 7 - Where does Energy come from?
Time: 1:30pm to 2:30pm (min 5 children)
Embark on an electrifying and fun-filled session where children will explore the magic of energy! They'll experiment a hand-powered light-up set, turning the wheel to make the bulb shine brighter the faster they turn, discovering how movement generates light. Next, they'll explore a circle-drawing machine, watching it vibrate and draw circles on paper, powered by battery energy. A discussion will follow about which type of car—petrol-powered or electric—is better for the environment, with a focus on how electric cars help reduce air pollution. Finally, each child will wind up a propeller car and watch it zoom across the ground, powered by the energy stored in the rubber band.
Energy
Lesson 8 - What is Electrical Energy?
Time: 1:30pm to 2:30pm (min 5 children)
Gear up for yet another electrifying adventure where children will explore the power of electricity! In this hands-on session, they’ll connect wires to light up a bulb, learning how energy flows from the battery through the metal wires to power the light. They’ll also experiment by placing different items between the wires to see which ones allow electricity to flow and make the bulb light up. The fun continues with each child creating their very own light-up stick, assembling a circuit with a button battery, LED, and binder clip to bring their project to life.
