Topic outline
Forces in Space
Learn about energy and forces, investigate the difference between mass and weight. Before finishing off with craters, what are they? how they are formed? and what they will look like.
Running with the Wind
Learn all about electricity, what it is and how we generate it, before focusing on wind energy and turbines.
You will finish the workshop off by looking at the advantages and disadvantages of using wind power and then focus on Wales and the wind power industry based here.Design a Mars Lander
In this course we will look at different missions to Mars, complete an activity to design our own Mars landers and then look to the moon.
More than just a Map
In this course you will learn about maps have been developed to help scientists understand complex problems. Then you will complete an activity were you will use maps to measure the size of an icecap at different intervals over 40 years. Following this you can draw your own conclusions about how the ice cap has changed over time. Enjoy!
Shaping Our Future
In this workshop you will learn all about global warming. You will look into what it is, what causes it, and what effects it has on the Earth.
You will also do a short experiment using household items to investigate the effects melting icebergs and glaciers have on the sea level. Before finishing the workshop, we will look at some of the ways the young icon Greta Thunberg has grabbed international attention in her fight against climate change.
Ingenuity - Mars Helicopter
We’re going to look at NASA’s latest experiment on Mars – Ingenuity!
Ingenuity is an exciting new project, a Mars Helicopter!
The Solar System
Come explore our Solar System as this workshop walks you through what makes a planet a planet, what is needed for life as we know it, and the different planets in our Solar System.

Fibre Optics and the Fight Against Climate Change
Find out how fibre optics can help predict the future of the second largest body of ice in the world, the Greenland ice sheet.
Electric circuits escape room
The electricity has blown at school. Its home time, and the doors have locked electronically so you can’t get out. Solve the following puzzles on circuits to reveal the codes needed to unlock the door and escape.
Each puzzle you solve will reveal a code to open a lock. You must open each lock in the correct order.
Year 10 WJEC Phyics specified practicals
This course will guide you through how to carry out the Year 10 WJEC specified Physics practicals.
WARNING: Do not attempt these experiments without a teacher present who has undertaken a full risk assessment.
