Mr. Beetle Feels the Force, a performance about science for Key Stage 2. Thank you to EPSRC & Reading University who originally funded the project. Thanks also to the 58 schools & 7,901 children who have hosted the show. You can still book Mr. Beetle feels the Force! The price is £250-00. The show has been developed in collaboration
with the Physics Department at the University of Reading and funded
by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. Using the
medium of a story about a small beetle who is taken into space as
part of an experiment, the show looks at all kinds of forces through
a series of simple experiments and demonstrations. It also looks at
some other issues including materials & minibeasts. Finally, it explains some of the ways that current
scientific research continues to add to our understanding of the
world. The show lasts about 1 hour and 30 minutes with a break half way so it fits well into a school morning. For more information or to book the show you can contact me by email or by phone. When you make a booking I will send you out a hard copy letter containing practical information that you need to know. Email: birch@songandstory.co.uk |
A
first rate show engaging children of all abilities across the keystage.
(KS2) A mix of humorous narrative, drama, investigation/ demonstration
& multimedia underpinned by real world applications, whilst
simultaneously encompassing a number of other science curriculum
areas... Furthermore it provided the Yr6s with a timely
interactive revision- extending their application of learning yet
further. Fabulous! Spencer Foyle, Science Co-oordinator Alveston C of E Primary School, Warwickshire. |
