Special online package
Ages 7-11 | KS2
With a show available on demand, hands-on science workshops and exciting activities for the classroom and at home, this online science week package allows students to explore the time it takes to learn new things.
Time To Learn
We love our live science shows for schools, but we know that time and money are tight, so we have another great option- our online science week package for KS2.
This great-value package gives your students a chance to explore the time it takes to make new connections in their brains and learn new things. It includes a schools show, a hands-on science workshop and a homework activity- enough content for you to run two fantastic themed lessons, with minimal prep time, as well as providing a chance for the students to carry on their learning at home. And you can also add in a live Q&A session for your students to ask our expert presenters all their questions about the brain!
Here’s how we suggest you break it down:
In this studio quality pre-rec show, students will watch a full length version of our interactive science show for schools Memory Games, and learn about how the brain changes when we learn new things.
Through a series of memory games and quizzes, we explore how memories are stored in the brain, and cover tips and tricks for making the most of their memories, and reducing the time it takes to learn something new
Test your grownups! At home, the students will challenge their adults to a short (~10min) learning task, and discover who gets better faster: adults or kids!
Then, in the follow-up lesson, you can combine results from the homework task and plot a whole-class graph to show the time it takes for kids & adults to learn.
In this fun science workshop, you’ll introduce the students to the idea of brain plasticity- our brain's amazing ability to change and learn new things over time.
Then, they will create their own pieces of brain-themed artwork, using these ideas to show how each of our brains is different and unique, and changes throughout our lives.
