Our secondary school workshops show different applications of the science covered in the classroom. We also use career journeys to show the different routes our researchers have taken from the classroom to the lab.
Really Small Science Secondary School Workshops
Secondary School activities
Nanopolymer Optimisation
Turn simple ingredients into your very own bouncy ball, but how do you get the best bounce for your buck? In our optimisation workshop, teams of students compete to optimise the manufacture of bouncy balls, keeping bounces high and costs low.
Nanodirt
Have a go at de-polluting dirty water with a syringe and some (nano)soot!
NanoGels
Become a jelly scientist by making your own nanogels, and find out why pineapple can be deadly to a jelly baby! Can your gel withstand the inversion test?!
Bioplastics
Test the properties of different bio-derived plastics made from seaweed and potato!
