Joule Boxes
Celebrating the world's most energetic scientist
An invaluable ‘After School Science Club’ resource
Joule Boxes cover four themes:
1. Light & Colour
2. Forces
3. Electricity & Magnetism
4. Materials
The boxes are designed to contain everything the busy class teacher needs to run an ‘Out-of-School’ Science/Technology Club. The boxes contain all the materials needed for 12 children working individually to carry out an investigation or try an exercise demonstrating a concept.
The Joule Boxes are available for hire. Each topic covers seven one-hour activities, which children are expected to work on at their own pace.
The hire costs are:
• £80 per topic (includes all consumable materials)
• £10 delivery and/or collection service available
We have 2 boxes available for each topic – ‘returnables’ and ‘consumables’. The actual cost of the ‘returnables’ that are not ‘returned’ is also charged.
Joule Boxes are fully supported by photographs, stimulus and instruction sheets and pro-forma cut-outs.
Joule Boxes are available to any school in Greater Manchester.
