Team building
Build a giant pyramid – the success of this activity hinges on teamwork. It provides
a non-competitive approach to team building. Everyone begins as an individual, then
in a team of two, and so on, until by the end everyone has contributed. The giant
pyramid becomes a symbol of their teamwork. (and they always like having their pictures
taken inside!)
Cartesian divers

to enable children to make their own Cartesian Diver and to experiment in order to
gain a better understanding of concepts like gravity, buoyancy etc
Kaleidoscopes
Make n Take suitable for smaller groups or drop-in. Materials and guidance are provided
to enable children to make their own kaleidoscope using plastic mirror and to experiment
