Christmas Space Race

Discover what it takes to put people into space and give your class the opportunity to find out how astronauts celebrate Christmas on the International Space Station.

Discover if the ISS is decorated, how astronauts exchange gifts, share meals, and even sing carols in microgravity! Students design and launch their own air-powered Santa rockets. This is a dramatic competition that would put Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk to shame!

Merry Music Lab

What is sound and how do we hear it? How do sounds come together to make music - and even Christmas songs? In this special festive edition of our Merry Music Lab, pupils will discover that music is really science in disguise!

Through listening, exploring and creating, children will investigate what sound truly is by experimenting with rhythm, pitch and tempo, using a variety of instruments and engaging activities. They’ll learn to tell the difference between high and low, fast and slow, and soft and loud — all while making merry music together.

To finish, pupils will have the opportunity to design and make their own musical instrument, ready to join in a jolly Christmas singalong!
