Science Week Spectacular Workshop
Dan Tastic Education
With the cost of taking a class to a free museum by coach, our workshops provide excellent value for money with no work placed on the school!Your scientists will arrive at 07:30 to set up an exciting display of scientific demonstrations, LASERs, drones, magnetic robots and lots of other interesting props. Using humour and a huge wealth of knowledge on the subject matter, our Dan Tastic Workshop Facilitator will educate and entertain your pupils for the full day, leaving the children with a thirst for knowledge and the chance to use their writing skills to send us a letter or email.
A typical day can include;
History of Science
Electricity, Electrical Circuits & Uses of Electricity
LASERs, Light & Straight Paths of Light
Bernoulli's Principal
Vortexes
Magnets, Magnetic Forces & Uses of Magnets
The day can be split across the whole school, or a full day with one class, many schools like to book Dan Tastic Education for multiple days so each class can get the entire experience!
