Unique Space Workshops for Schools

Bringing the Excitement of Space to your School or Group!

Handling Real Meteorites
Exploring Space Travel
Space-Age Childhood
and more...

Space is a fascinating topic, but can be challenging to bring to life in the classroom (and can also generate questions that can be difficult to answer for the non-specialist teacher!).

I will really engage your class or group with the topic of space in ways that are exciting and enhance learning, and provide your group with an unforgettable experience.

Uniquely, Science Horizons can provide a range of exciting space workshops so that every pupil can have an exciting space-based learning experience!

Meteorites Workshop

Your pupils will handle and examine real meteorites, with not only impressive specimens but also scientifically important ones, and learn where they come from and what they are.

They will also find out about shooting stars and even how they could find their own micro-meteorites!

This activity takes approximately 1 hour per group (depending on ages, ability and timetable).

A Space-Age Childhood Workshop

Learning with a difference with this exciting session that looks at childhood in the space age, through original toys and games with the space theme that was very popular during the space race.

As well as being really enjoyable, interactive and memorable, this session includes both substantial science and even an optional PSHE learning elements...

This activity takes approximately 1 hour per group (depending on ages, ability and timetable).

Spaceflight and Space Travel Workshop

Explores the fascinating history of space travel, including the Moon landings (really topical with the 50th anniversary of Neil Armstrong's landing on the Moon in 2019) and bring it up to date with modern space exploration and life on the International Space Station.

This includes artefacts from space travel.

This is approximately 1 hour per group (depending on ages, ability and timetable).

How Much Is A Visit?

Our pricing is simple, and designed to allow smaller as well as larger schools to find a visit cost-effective. Pricing is by time spent, rather than content, so for a given budget I might I can work with several groups having planetarium shows only, or smaller groups having a more in-depth learning experience. I would be delighted to discuss with you how we can bring space to life for your group.

Simply contact me for a no-obligation look at pricing and possibilties.

Having a planetarium visit you also saves on time and travel costs for coaches, as well as the logistic and safeguarding challenges of taking children off-site.
