As the session progresses, students explore how matter changes, distinguishing between physical and chemical transformations.
What is a force, and how does it shape the way objects move? In this dynamic, hands-on workshop, students explore fundamental physics concepts through interactive experimentation. Using ramps, spring scales, and magnets, they investigate pushes, pulls, and gravity, gaining a clear understanding of how forces influence motion. Through guided inquiry, students develop the scientific language needed to describe these concepts while being introduced to key ideas such as inertia and the distinction between mass and weight.
How do we identify and classify materials based on their properties? This engaging science workshop invites students to investigate the properties of materials and the objects they shape, while exploring their real-world applications. Through a sequence of hands-on, inquiry-based activities, students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they test properties such as absorbency or conductivity. They are challenged to select suitable materials for specific purposes, encouraging them to consider performance under varying conditions.
What is sound and how does it travel? How do we hear it?
This engaging, hands-on workshop introduces students to the science of sound, exploring how vibrations create waves and how these waves travel through solids, liquids, and gases. Through interactive experiments, students investigate sound transmission, pitch, and volume, while using real scientific tools to test their ideas and predictions. Students also explore how the ear processes sound and take part in practical challenges to understand sound insulation and how different materials can reduce noise.
What factors influence the strength and stability of a structure? How do materials and design choices impact performance? In this engaging, hands-on workshop, students take on the role of junior engineers to explore the forces that affect structural strength and stability. Through practical investigations, they test different materials and shapes, applying engineering in investigating bridges. The session concludes with a closer look at iconic UAE buildings, helping students understand how engineering principles are applied in modern construction.
This engaging, hands-on STEM workshop invites students to explore the fascinating world of light through interactive investigation. Students examine natural and artificial sources of light, uncover the science behind rainbows and light scattering, and develop a clear understanding of the reason we experience day and night. Through practical experimentation, students investigate key properties of light—including reflection, refraction, and shadow formation.
Why do we experience day and night? What causes the phases of the Moon? How does Earth compare to the other planets in our solar system? This engaging and hands-on workshop invites students to explore the wonders of space through interactive investigation. Students discover the structure of our solar system, learn the difference between inner and outer planets, and explore fascinating phenomena such as craters, asteroids, comets, and shooting stars.
This engaging, hands-on workshop introduces students to the fundamentals of matter, exploring solids, liquids, and gases through structured scientific investigation. Students experiment with non-Newtonian fluids, and examine the differences between solutions and suspensions, while developing key skills such as observation, critical thinking, and inquiry. Through practical activities, students investigate important properties of matter—including conductivity, strength, and how changes in shape can influence behaviour. They also explore how matter transitions between states and conclude the session with an interactive investigation into physical and chemical changes, learning to identify the key indicators that distinguish these processes.
What makes things move? What materials conduct electricity best?
In this engaging, hands-on workshop, students explore the fundamentals of energy, including the difference between potential and kinetic energy, and discover electricity as a powerful and versatile form of energy. Through interactive experiments, students investigate the flow of electrons, test a range of materials to identify good conductors, and build their own working circuits to observe electrical energy in action. The experience extends into the world of sustainability, where students explore renewable energy sources and apply their learning by creating a simple solar-powered system—connecting scientific concepts to real-world applications.
Why is water conservation essential? How does pollution impact our environment and how can renewable energy shape a more sustainable future?
This dynamic, hands-on workshop introduces students to key environmental science concepts through real-world investigation. Students explore the importance of protecting freshwater resources, examine how easily pollution can spread through ecosystems, and develop a deeper understanding of the impact of human activity on the environment.
Through inquiry-based activities students design and test their own water filtration systems, applying critical thinking and problem-solving skills to evaluate and improve their solutions. The workshop also introduces renewable energy concepts where students explore how solar power can be harnessed.
What is energy, and how is it used in our everyday lives? How can renewable energy help power our future?
This engaging, hands-on workshop introduces students to key energy concepts, including the difference between potential and kinetic energy. Through interactive experiments, students explore various forms of energy such as elastic, gravitational, and chemical energy, developing a strong foundation in how energy is stored and transferred.
Designed to engage and inspire primary school students passioned about geology, this workshop offers an immersive exploration of our planet and how it works. Students develop a clear understanding of key geological concepts, including the structure of the Earth and the forces that continuously shape its surface. Through a combination of interactive activities, guided discussions, and hands-on experiments, they investigate dynamic processes such as tectonic movement and natural change.
This engaging, hands-on workshop introduces students to the world of simple machines and how they make work easier in everyday life. Through guided exploration, students develop an understanding of key mechanical principles and real-world applications. The experience culminates in an exciting design challenge, where students brainstorm, plan, build, and test their own catapults—applying engineering thinking, problem-solving skills, and creativity to optimise performance and achieve the best results.
