We are also able to offer workshops as part of your package. Lasting up to an hour, they give each child the opportunity to make something they can take home with them. Choose from...
Balloon Buggies
Build a balloon-powered buggy to keep. Can you adapt the basic design to reduce resistance and friction? Who will win the race?
Sun Catchers
Make eye-catching decorations for windows.
Periscopes or Kaleidoscopes
Make a periscope or Kaleidoscope to take home and learn how light reflects.
Marble Mazes
In this challenge workshop, students work in small groups to construct a marble run and measure the time taken for the ball to reach the end. The slowest marble wins.
Alka-splat
Create a work of art using the chemical reaction of an Alka-seltzer paint rocket.
Bumtrumpet Slime
Explore how a 'polymer' substance acts and how it differs from a solid, liquid or gas by making slime.
Inspire has a fantastic gift shop with many pocket money items. £2 - £3 per child will allow them to make an enjoyable shop visit.
We have a space where schools can eat packed lunch, or you may picnic on the lawn in fine weather. We also have a small cafe serving tea, coffee, cold drinks and a selection of snacks and sweets.
