Term03What makes things move?
Ask why. Then find out.
Little Bang is a Saturday science club for curious kids aged 6 to 12. We mix, build, launch and occasionally fizz things over, then work out together why it happened.
- Ages 6 to 12
- Saturdays, 9:30–11:30

Ten Saturdays, ten experiments.
Each term follows one big question. This term it's "what makes things move?", and here's how we'll find out.

Is it safe?
Everything we do is planned for the age group, with goggles, aprons and one adult for every six kids. Nothing hotter than warm water, nothing sharper than safety scissors.
My kid says they don't like science.
Perfect. Most of our regulars said that too. Come to the free trial; the volcano usually changes their mind.
Do I need to stay?
Not for kids over seven. Younger ones are welcome to bring a grown-up, who will also be given goggles.
