This workshop is linked to engineering and forces as children learn a more advanced way to use forces without even realising they're learning!
We explore levers by creating seesaws and discussing weight, using levers to lift different objects and building lever catapults.
"My children were still lifting things with spoons at lunch time and saying 'lever' for weeks after this class - wonderful science learning!"
You'll need 45-60 minutes for the workshop but you could continue on with the activities at stations for a couple of days.
For £59* you can use the workshop with as many groups/classes as you like for a whole school term on your own schedule.
Please be aware that for this workshop you will need to source some simple materials in advance, most of which you'll already have in your setting. We estimate the total materials costs for running this workshop with one class of 30 pupils would be under £5.
