Issue 02 | Autumn 2026

Thank you for the great response to our first newsletter of the term!

Going forward, we will be posting these at the start of each week. This will give you a sneak preview of what your kids will be learning in the days to come and provide you with time to prepare for an enthusiastic science chat with them on the drive home.

So here's what we have in store for your future scientists this week...

BENEATH

THE WAVES

The constant breaking of waves upon our shores takes its toll. After sculpting their own coastlines out of sand and stones, and decorating them with model houses and trees, our marine explorers will unleash the power of waves upon it and witness this erosion for themselves. The tragic sight of their hard work being washed away will surely inspire them to get innovative as they build Lego sea defences to keep the sea at bay in our wave erosion tanks.

ACROSS

THE GALAXY

Before we venture out into the galaxy, let’s take a moment to appreciate what makes Earth so special and unique. With an orbit that keeps it firmly in that famed “Goldilocks Zone”, it was once the only place we were sure to find liquid water. Through experiments, our astrophysicists will discover that water is the stuff of life because it dissolves life-enabling chemicals, such as sugars and salt. They will then employ oxygen - another of Earth’s vital gifts to life - to perform a chemical traffic light that changes colour at their will.

PERIODIC

PIONEERS

Since hydrogen is the most prevalent element in our Universe, much of chemistry is a battle for its attention! We get hands-on with this battle and use the pH scale to recognise its victors and losers - Acids and Bases. At the extremes of pH, they can be deadly, but in moderation, they are worth having around. With some kitchen science, we will use red cabbage to brew an indicator solution that colourfully sorts household chemicals by their pH. Using colour as our guide, can the children find the right mix to bring our acids and bases back to neutral?

Issue 01 | Autumn 2026

Welcome to the first newsletter of the term!

Each week, you will find a short write-up on each Module’s lessons so that you can have some great science chats with your future scientists.

We hope you find it fun, informative, and helpful!

(Please note that this is what was covered last week. Going forward, you will receive these at the start of the week, rather than the end)

BENEATH

THE WAVES

Our journey beneath the waves began by taking a closer look at the waves themselves. Although wind blows waves across entire oceans, the water itself moves very little. To see how, we used a giant Slinky and a marshmallow wave machine to explore wave mechanics in greater detail. Then, using water and oil, we bottled up some rolling waves to serve as a constant reminder of their hypnotic beauty.

ACROSS

THE GALAXY

Gravity brings form and order to the universe. It brings gas and dust together to create stars and planets and then sets them in motion in orbits. We begin our journey across the galaxy by getting to grips with the mechanics of these orbits using magnets, marbles and a giant trampoline. Using these, we will create scaled-down working solar systems and use this to visualise the complexity of a universe in constant motion.

PERIODIC

PIONEERS

It may look daunting to the untrained eye, but at its essence, the periodic table is a list of all the possible atoms that can exist - the elements of our universe. After using the fizziest of chemical reactions to build up our chemical vocabularies with words like atoms and molecules, protons and electrons, we explored the most basic of these elements - hydrogen and helium - and witnessed how the addition of just a single proton is the difference between a squeaky voice and a fiery explosion.

Issue 13 | Spring 2026

That’s it for the term. Thank you so much for giving us the chance to teach your future scientists. We truly appreciate it and can’t wait to do it again!

We hope you all have a great summer. :)

EVERYDAY

MYSTERIES

We ended this week with a question that has fooled people for centuries: why does metal feel colder than wood, even when they are the same temperature? As we uncovered the difference between heat and temperature, we discovered that it’s not how hot or cold something is that matters, but how easily it transfers heat. Through melting butter, racing ice cubes, and fiery demonstrations, our young scientists explored conduction, convection, and radiation before discovering why water is so good at absorbing heat. They’ll never look at a hot cup of tea, a metal spoon, or a summer car ride in quite the same way again!

A FANTASTIC

VOYAGE WITHIN

Last week, we discovered that the brain can be tricked by the things we hear and think. This week, we turned our attention to vision and explored how the brain constructs the images we see. Through a collection of visual illusions, impossible objects, and perception-bending demonstrations, our explorers discovered that eyes do not simply act as cameras recording reality. Instead, the brain fills in gaps, makes assumptions, and sometimes reaches the wrong conclusions altogether. Using spinning zoetropes and other visual tricks, we uncovered how the brain creates the illusion of motion and transforms a series of still images into a moving scene! As reality bent before our eyes, we discovered that seeing is not always believing.

CHEMISTRY IN

PLAIN SIGHT

Our journey came to an end in one of the most chemical-filled rooms in any home - the kitchen. From the sugar that stores chemical energy to the yeast packed with powerful enzymes, we discovered that everyday ingredients are capable of extraordinary reactions. Colour-changing chemistry revealed how glucose and oxygen work together to release energy, before yeast transformed ordinary hydrogen peroxide into a towering column of foam. As we wrapped up our adventure through light, colour, gases, acids, bases, and catalysts, we discovered that chemistry isn’t confined to laboratories; it’s happening all around us, every single day!

EVERYDAY

MYSTERIES

Have you ever wondered why a series of tiny pushes can send a swing soaring, or why a singer can shatter a glass with the right note? This week, we uncover the surprising science of resonance. A swing only goes higher when energy is added at exactly the right moment, and it turns out the same principle appears throughout the world around us. By exploring pendulums, standing waves, vibrating slinkies, and resonating tuning forks, our young scientists will discover how timing can make even small pushes produce dramatic effects. Along the way, we’ll investigate natural frequencies, create musical sounds from everyday objects, and see how resonance can make vibrations grow powerful enough to shake bridges, amplify music, and even send a swing soaring higher and higher.

A FANTASTIC

VOYAGE WITHIN

And so we arrive at the most complex organ in the human body: the brain. It contains billions of neurons, each communicating through a vast network of electrical and chemical signals. We begin our exploration of the nervous system by uncovering how these remarkable cells allow us to think, feel, move, and react. Our young scientists will put their own nervous systems to the test through reaction-time challenges and reflex investigations, discovering that not all responses require conscious thought. Along the way, we will explore how the brain processes sound, attention, and information from the world around us. Through auditory illusions, attention tests, and other cognitive challenges, we will discover that the brain does far more than simply receive information; it constantly interprets, edits, and sometimes even deceives us.

CHEMISTRY IN

PLAIN SIGHT

The world of polymers is about to get a little more delicious as we discover that some of the most fascinating materials are built from tiny repeating building blocks. These molecules join together to create long chains called polymers, and with the right recipe, these chains can stretch, bounce, and even be eaten! We will create our own edible slime as sodium alginate and calcium chloride link together to form long strands that can be pulled, twisted, and tasted. With a sprinkle of Skittles powder, our experiment becomes a sweet treat while revealing the hidden chemistry behind its texture. Then, we’ll transform a simple “slime” into a bouncy ball using the perfect mix of ingredients, uncovering how polymers are everywhere around us.

EVERYDAY

MYSTERIES

Our lives are full of spinning things, from bicycle wheels to toy tops, but have you ever wondered why a bicycle can balance so effortlessly while moving, yet topples over the moment it stops? This week, we investigate the strange world of angular momentum and gyroscopic stability, where spinning objects seem to resist being pushed around. Through spinning tops, gyroscopes, hoops, and rotating wheels, our investigators will discover that a spinning object behaves very differently from one standing still. Along the way, we will uncover another curious effect of spin: the centrifugal force. After swirling coins and whirling balls, we will harness this fake “force” to defy gravity and stop spinning water-filled containers from spilling their contents.

A FANTASTIC

VOYAGE WITHIN

For all the incredible things the human body can do, none shapes our understanding of the world quite like vision. But seeing is far more complicated than simply opening our eyes. This week, we explore how light is captured, focused, and transformed into the images we see every day. Our young explorers will journey through the anatomy of the eye, discovering the structures and processes that enable us to see. Along the way, we will uncover two of light’s most important tricks- reflection and refraction! Using mirrors, lasers, water, and oil, we will bend and redirect light beams. With a homemade pinhole camera, we will reveal how the eye acts as a remarkable living camera, turning light from the outside world into the rich visual experience we call sight.

CHEMISTRY IN

PLAIN SIGHT

Plastics may be reviled today, but there was a time when they were hailed as a revolutionary chemical. And rightly so! Lightweight, inert and infinitely moldable - they changed our world for the better, even if the toll they are now exacting on our health and the planet may be too high to ignore. This week, we will make a tastier polymer by splitting milk and stringing along its protein monomers in a chemical chain with similar properties to plastics. Then, we will try to solve the plastic problem by recycling plastic pellets into unique creations to take home.

EVERYDAY

MYSTERIES

For as long as humans have watched birds soar overhead, we have dreamed of joining them in the skies. This week, we explore one of the great engineering mysteries: how do planes actually fly? While the answer may seem simple, the science behind flight is surprisingly complex. Through a series of hands-on challenges, we will investigate how moving air creates lift, why curved surfaces behave in unexpected ways, and how wings push air down to keep planes up. From floating balls and hovering objects to paper planes and powerful air currents, our young engineers will discover the deceptively simple science that finally lifted us off the ground and carried us right up to the frontiers of space.

A FANTASTIC

VOYAGE WITHIN

Our Fantastic Voyage now turns to one of our most remarkable senses: hearing. Every sound we have ever heard, from a whisper to a thunderclap, begins as nothing more than vibrations travelling through the air. This week, we follow those vibrations on an extraordinary journey through the ear as they are collected, amplified, and transformed into electrical signals for the brain to interpret. Along the way, we will explore sound waves, discover how tiny bones and fluid-filled chambers allow us to hear, and uncover the surprising connection between hearing and balance. Through vibrating water, dancing particles, and hearing tests that reveal the limits of our ears, our young scientists will discover how the body turns invisible waves into the rich world of sound that surrounds us every day.

CHEMISTRY IN

PLAIN SIGHT

Last week, we discovered how bleach makes colours disappear by breaking apart the colourful chemicals responsible for stains. This week, we take that idea a step further and uncover that not all colours surrender equally! By testing bleach on different coloured solutions, our chemists will discover that some pigments fade much faster than others, leading to surprising colour changes along the way. Armed with this knowledge, we will predict, test, and reveal the hidden colours lurking within our mixtures before turning bleach from a cleaning chemical into an artistic tool. Using reverse bleach dyeing, we will create striking works of art by removing colour rather than adding it, before learning how to bring the reaction to a halt through the chemistry of neutralisation.
