Cycle one class at a time through a choice of three mini-events. An exciting combination of practical work, teamwork and problem solving make these ideal for an activity day or inter-form competition in which all pupils from a year group can compete. We can even create a league table of results for you to publish.
If you book consecutive day events – you will save money as well as involve more students.
Blood Transfusions
- Age Range: Yr 5 – 13
- No. Participants: Maximum of 35 per session
- Duration: 35, 50 or 60 minute sessions

Pupils will learn how to identify blood types, analyse samples of synthetic blood and then work as a team to determine which donors can be used to save the life of a seriously injured patient. Time is short and if their patient is to survive – they must work fast, accurately and effectively under pressure!
Extracting Human DNA
- Age Range: Yr 8 – 13
- No. Participants: Maximum of 32 per session
- Duration: 60 minute sessions only
- Cost: £845 +VAT
Pupils will learn about the structure and properties of DNA. Each pupil can choose to extract their own DNA or that of a kiwi fruit in order to see DNA for themselves. The accuracy of their extraction technique and understanding of the key concepts will determine which team run the best lab!
Mystery Substance I.D
- Age Range: Yr 9 – 13
- No. Participants: Maximum of 36 per session
- Duration: 50 or 60 minute sessions
- Cost: £845 +VAT
Pupils will use micro-chemistry, as used in labs around the world, to identify a mystery substance. They will analyse results by combining existing knowledge, observation and problem solving skills. Their practical skills and conclusions will prove vital. Who will be the most reliable chemists?
