Eureka! Science + Discovery From the Chew to the Poo Workshop
Learn about the digestive system and importance of having a healthy, well-balanced diet.
Children will find out how our body absorbs the vitamins and minerals it needs and more amusingly how it gets rid of what we don’t need.

Eureka! Science + Discovery The Gross Lab Workshop
One of their most popular and enduring science shows, and perfect for your KS1 class.
Join their resident Grossologists to explore the science behind all the icky, sticky and yucky stuff our bodies do and find out why they are important.
Explore scabs, saliva, germs, digestion, mucus and more, with a range of hands-on (yuck!) demonstrations for your class.
And the best bit? You don’t have to clear up the mess afterwards… You’re welcome!

Explorer Dome’s Cell Show Workshop
Delve deep within to float inside a gigantic cell. From organisms to organelles, discuss the units of life – their diversity in scale, form and function and the marvels of the genetic code.
They have two separate human biology shows.
Their Human Body show is a fun filled, disgusting journey to find out what happens to your food from plate to poo! Their Cell show discusses the fundamental units of living things from the perspective of human cells that make up our adapted tissues, organs and systems. Both shows are available for KS3 students.

Immersive Theatres’ Birth of Planet Earth Workshop
Scientists predict that our galaxy is filled with solar systems, including up to a billion planets roughly the size of our own. Yet why, in our search for exoplanets (planets orbiting other stars) have we yet to find one like the Earth? Drawing on current scientific ideas, supercomputer models and state-of-the-art visuals, this spectacular 360° film attempts to answer such ponderous questions.
Is Our World Unique in the Milky Way Galaxy? – will we ever find an exoplanet that shares the same size, tilt, orbit, and distance from its sun as the Earth (necessary attributes that contributed to the evolution of life on our planet)?
Witness the Violent Birth of our Planet – how did Earth become a living planet following the Solar System’s violent birth? Where did our Moon come from? Students also get to handle the oldest object they will ever touch – a 4,600 million year-old meteorite – an unchanged relic dating back to the birth of the Solar System.

Oxford University Museum of Natural History’s Biodiversity and Evolution Online Lesson
Explore the relationship between organisms and their environment.
Understand that adaptation and selection are major components of evolution and make a significant contribution to the diversity of life. Understand that classification and taxonomy is a means of organising and naming the variety of life. Use their historic collections to find out how classification systems have changed and will continue to change as our knowledge of biology develops.
Oxford University Museum of Natural History is home to an internationally important collection of over 5 million insects. Insects are divided into orders based on characteristics they share with common ancestors.

Oxford University Museum of Natural History’s Evolution Solution Online Lesson
Explore how evolution has shaped the diversity of life around us.
Discover how Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin used their encounters with nature to describe how natural selection drives the evolution process and so how all modern terrestrial vertebrates evolved from a common ancestor that first conquered the land.
This bizarre creature, somewhere between fish and early four-legged land animals, is called Tiktaalik. The more scientists learn about this 375 million-year-old beast, now long extinct, the more it intrigues them. Recent discoveries suggest its strong pelvis and hind limbs allowed it to move effectively through water, but also to clamber on the river bed and possibly onto mudflats. In the session, Tiktaalik is used as an example of how animals moved out of the water and onto land and how that relates to the history of life on Earth.

Take Me To London’s Nature and Us in The British Museum Tour
‘The way we see the world shapes the way we treat it. If a mountain is a deity, not a pile of ore; if a river is one of the veins of the land, not potential irrigation water; if a forest is a sacred grove, not timber; if other species are biological kin, not resources; or if the planet is our mother, not an opportunity — then we will treat each other with greater respect’ – David Suzuki
Join Take Me To London on a guided tour of The British Museum where we will be looking at objects and artworks and discover how our relationship with Nature has changed throughout history. How this relation changed when we started farming, building cities, the connection of faith, mythology and nature and how we tried to gain control over the natural world.
To enquire or book please email ildi.pelikan@takemetolondon.com referencing ‘The School Trip’ to get exclusive school rates.
