Science Workshops for Primary Schools in Scotland
Always rooted in real and concrete science and taking their lead from the Curriculum – but taking approaches from the world of the arts – our Science workshops for primary schools in Scotland (P1 – P7) provide an excellent way of engaging students with science and supporting them in understanding the world (and worlds) around them.
Our downloadable Maths teaching resource packages have recently been shortlisted for both a Teach Primary and Bett Award in the STEM category!

School Testimonials
“The children had a wonderful day, the content layered upon their current learning and it was very interactive. Staff have had really positive things to say about it; how lovely it was lovely to see children excited about science and how organised everything was!”
“I just wanted to email to say a huge thank you for yesterday. The children all really enjoyed their sessions and we had great feedbackfrom the Teachers. It’s given people ideas that we can use in our Science lessons using the outside environment!“
“I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you again, for yet another incredible day! The feedback from the staff and the children has been amazing, as expected, as you are fantastic! The children have thoroughly enjoyed their workshops and lots of staff have come to me and said how much they’ve learnt themselves.“
“Please pass on our thanks to Rosie once again for visiting on Friday. My colleagues have all commented about how much they enjoyed it, which is always great when the teachers feel that they’ve learned new things too! We look forward to welcoming you back in the future!”
“I just wanted to email to say thank you to you and Chris for helping to organise and deliver an amazing Women in STEM day at our school. All of the children and staff have been so positive about the assembly and workshops, and we are very grateful to you for such an engaging day. Many of the children have been able to recall knowledge for the day and it has been brilliant to take part in a day that is full of sharing scientific concepts, rather than just relying on awe and wonder. Lots of the children are keen to share what they have learnt from the day at our science fair next week. I Iook forward to working with you again in the future.“
“We loved the workshops; they were roughly 350 students participating altogether. The workshops were engaging, interesting and very educational!”
Passionate About Science
Delivered by practitioners who are passionate about science, these exciting programmes use drama-based approaches to cement existing learning, clarify difficult concepts, challenge thinking and introduce new content.
Whole-school approaches
We know how complex delivering whole-school approaches to science can be, so you can now book a Big Science Day for a number of year groups, comprising either different workshops exploring a number of topics – or a range of age-differentiated activities on a single scientific theme!
