ScienceWorks began in response to teachers who recognised the potential of hands-on exhibitions and asked if equipment could be developed for use in the classroom.
The exhibitions increase motivation and enthusiasm among both staff and pupils and improves the image of science in the school. The exhibits give the user control over what they are investigating, which aids confidence.
The exhibits address a balanced selection of points from each main topic of the curriculum. The equipment is intuitive and children quickly grasp what to do. There are simple labels on the exhibits giving instruction. The exhibitions are accompanied by Teacher’s Notes, which suggest a number of suitable questions and provide answers. They also recommend more things to do and give background scientific ideas.
The exhibitions are suitable for children in Key Stage 1 and 2, where ScienceWorks can be used as a whole school event, with short sessions for each class.
The exhibition content is also relevant to Key Stage 3. Secondary schools may also host an exhibition in conjunction with their feeder primary or middle schools. This offers improved school links and an opportunity to share ideas.
There are seven sets of exhibits available, based on the main areas of the science curriculum:
LightWorks:
Mixing Coloured Light – Mirror Drawing – Laser Amazer – Zoetrope – Model Eyes – Light Table – Anamorphs – Pinhole Cameras – Frozen Shadows – Bendy Mirrors – Optical Fibres
