Einstein Lectures

A mathematic journey to show that the flow of time does in fact slow down and speed up depending on how quickly you are moving!

Climate change

In this after-school session, students will investigate how fossils provide evidence of past climates and help us understand climate change today. Using real fossils from the Norfolk area, they will get a hands-on experience examining ancient shells, plants, and marine life that reveal what the environment was like millions of years ago. Activities will include: 1. Handling and observing fossils to identify species and habitats. 2. Creating a timeline of climate shifts in Norfolk (from Ice Age to present). 3. Discussing how fossil evidence connects to today’s issues of global warming and sea-level rise. By the end, students will see how fossils act as a window into Earth’s past, and why studying them is important for predicting our climate future.

Bloodbowl - Strategy Game

History of the Atom

In this after-school activity, students will explore how our understanding of the atom has changed over time. We will take a journey from Democritus’ idea of indivisible particles, through Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, and Bohr, to the modern quantum model. Students will: 1. Build simple atom models to represent different theories. 2. Try a hands-on marble experiment to simulate Rutherford’s gold foil experiment. 3. Watch short videos and animations to see how each discovery was made.
