EVERYDAY

MYSTERIES

For as long as humans have watched birds soar overhead, we have dreamed of joining them in the skies. This week, we explore one of the great engineering mysteries: how do planes actually fly? While the answer may seem simple, the science behind flight is surprisingly complex. Through a series of hands-on challenges, we will investigate how moving air creates lift, why curved surfaces behave in unexpected ways, and how wings push air down to keep planes up. From floating balls and hovering objects to paper planes and powerful air currents, our young engineers will discover the deceptively simple science that finally lifted us off the ground and carried us right up to the frontiers of space.

A FANTASTIC

VOYAGE WITHIN

Our Fantastic Voyage now turns to one of our most remarkable senses: hearing. Every sound we have ever heard, from a whisper to a thunderclap, begins as nothing more than vibrations travelling through the air. This week, we follow those vibrations on an extraordinary journey through the ear as they are collected, amplified, and transformed into electrical signals for the brain to interpret. Along the way, we will explore sound waves, discover how tiny bones and fluid-filled chambers allow us to hear, and uncover the surprising connection between hearing and balance. Through vibrating water, dancing particles, and hearing tests that reveal the limits of our ears, our young scientists will discover how the body turns invisible waves into the rich world of sound that surrounds us every day.

CHEMISTRY IN

PLAIN SIGHT

Last week, we discovered how bleach makes colours disappear by breaking apart the colourful chemicals responsible for stains. This week, we take that idea a step further and uncover that not all colours surrender equally! By testing bleach on different coloured solutions, our chemists will discover that some pigments fade much faster than others, leading to surprising colour changes along the way. Armed with this knowledge, we will predict, test, and reveal the hidden colours lurking within our mixtures before turning bleach from a cleaning chemical into an artistic tool. Using reverse bleach dyeing, we will create striking works of art by removing colour rather than adding it, before learning how to bring the reaction to a halt through the chemistry of neutralisation.

Issue 9 | Spring 2026

We hope you all had a lovely Eid break and are ready for the final stretch of the term. We sure are!

We will also be announcing a few great deals for the summer and beyond shortly. Watch this space so you don’t miss out.

EVERYDAY

MYSTERIES

For centuries, migrating birds have accomplished journeys that would challenge even our most advanced technology. Crossing oceans, deserts, and continents, they somehow arrive at exactly the right place year after year. After using compasses to reveal Earth’s invisible magnetic field, we will discover that some birds possess a built-in compass of their own, allowing them to “see” this field and find their way across the globe. But finding the right direction is only half the battle. Flying such great distances requires enormous amounts of energy, which is why many birds travel in their iconic V-formations. By investigating swirling vortices and the aerodynamics of flight, our young scientists will discover how birds turn some of nature’s invisible forces into powerful tools for survival.

A FANTASTIC

VOYAGE WITHIN

Our Fantastic Voyage now turns to two of our most underrated senses: taste and smell. While sight and hearing often steal the spotlight, these chemical detectors in our mouths and noses quietly help us identify food, avoid danger, and make sense of the world around us. By exploring the lock-and-key receptors that enable taste and smell, we will discover how specific molecules trigger electrical signals that race to the brain. Through taste tests and mystery scents, we will learn that flavour is far more than just taste buds. It is a remarkable partnership between the nose, tongue, and brain that helps us experience everything from sweet treats to savoury snacks.

CHEMISTRY IN

PLAIN SIGHT

The kitchen is full of chemistry, and few household chemicals are as useful as bleach. Whether it is whitening clothes, removing stains, or cleaning surfaces, bleach has a remarkable ability to make colours disappear. This week, we investigate how bleach does its work by breaking apart the colourful chemicals responsible for many stains. But chemistry is not just about what happens; it is also about how quickly it happens. By comparing hot and cold reactions, we will discover how temperature affects the speed of chemical change before putting our theories to the test with the ever-popular iodine clock reaction. As colours vanish and reactions race against time, our young chemists will uncover the science behind one of the most common household cleaning products.

Issue 8 | Spring 2026

Since next week is the Eid break, there will be no classes from the 23rd to the 29th of May. Classes will resume from the 30th onwards.

However, we will be running our ever-popular holiday camp during this time (25th to 29th), where we make the most of the extra free time the children have to go even deeper into the science. That means more learning, more experiments, and a whole lot more wonder!

With limited spots available, these camps fill up fast. Sign up here and don’t miss out.

EVERYDAY

MYSTERIES

As summer fades and the days grow shorter, trees begin preparing for winter by reclaiming the precious chlorophyll that keeps their leaves green. As this dominant pigment disappears, the hidden yellows, oranges, and reds that were there all along are finally revealed. Using chromatography, our young scientists will separate these pigments and uncover the colourful palette concealed within every leaf. But nature’s colour changes are not limited to autumn. Slice into an apple or banana, and oxygen in the air triggers the fruit’s enzymes, turning them brown. With a little lemon juice and a dash of vitamin C, we will discover how antioxidants can stop this transformation and keep fruit looking fresh, and turn our pitch-black Iodine Clock experiments crystal clear!

A FANTASTIC

VOYAGE WITHIN

Every bustling city needs a cleanup crew, and the human body is no exception. The kidneys act as remarkable filters, removing waste products such as urea from the blood while carefully balancing the body’s water supply. By building their own filtration systems, our biologists will see how unwanted substances are washed away to become urine. Next, we turn to the liver, the body’s chemical control centre. All blood coming from the digestive system passes through it first, allowing it to process nutrients, neutralise toxins, and convert harmful substances into safer compounds. Packed with powerful enzymes, it can break down poisons and even rapidly decompose hydrogen peroxide in dramatic foam, much like our ever-popular Elephant Toothpaste reaction! Finally, using a microscope, we will meet the immune system’s army of white blood cells as they patrol the body and hunt down invading bacteria and viruses.

CHEMISTRY IN

PLAIN SIGHT

Last week we magicked solids from liquids, and this week we deep dive into those solids as our scientists make their own crystals. For crystals to form, we need to get our atoms in order, letting science do its thing, repeating these patterns to form structures we humans covet. However, not all crystals find their way into jewellery. Our students will use their understanding of saturation to grow their own crystal gardens before setting a scene to farm magical crystal serpents. It turns out salts are far from just boring solids to sprinkle on food!

EVERYDAY

MYSTERIES

This week’s mystery takes us beyond Earth as we tackle some of the Moon’s greatest secrets. Using gravity trampolines and orbit models, we will discover that the Moon is constantly racing around Earth while both travel around the Sun. With our homemade orreries, we’ll reveal why the Moon appears to change shape, why it can sometimes be seen during the day, and why eclipses are such rare and spectacular events. We’ll also uncover the reason we always see the same face of the Moon, while its far side remains hidden from view. Finally, our young astronomers will stretch their imaginations even further as they explore the mind-bending gravity of black holes, where not even light can escape!

A FANTASTIC

VOYAGE WITHIN

Our Fantastic Voyage will take us to the respiratory system this week as we discover why the heart sends blood to the lungs before delivering it to the rest of the body. To release the energy stored in glucose, every cell needs oxygen and, in the process, produces carbon dioxide that must be exhaled. Using balloons, bottles, and pressure, we will uncover how the diaphragm and rib muscles work together to push air in and out of the lungs. Then, using colourful candy, we will learn about diffusion and explore gas exchange in the lungs. Finally, by modelling this remarkable exchange and measuring our own breathing, our young scientists will see how every breath helps power the cells that keep us alive.

CHEMISTRY IN

PLAIN SIGHT

A slight change of gear this week, as we use chemistry to bring things into view, instantly forming solids from liquids. We know precipitation as rain, but in science (and our test tubes), it’s more likely the formation of solid salts. Soluble salt react, metals swap places in a molecular dance, and insoluble substances suddenly appear! But it keeps getting cooler! As the base metals switch, they create a spectrum of colours, which change during the reactions. Who knows, we may even unlock the secret to conjuring liquid gold!

Issue 6 | Spring 2026

Here's what we have in store for your future scientists this week...

EVERYDAY

MYSTERIES

Electricity powers almost every part of modern life, but where does it come from? Our scientists will tackle this mystery by exploring the strange partnership between electricity and magnetism. We will discover that electricity is simply the flow of electrons, much like water flowing through a river, carrying energy as it moves. Using magnets, wires, and hand-cranked generators, we will see how moving one can create the other, a principle first uncovered by the pioneers of electromagnetism. From spinning turbines to wind, steam, and even pedal power, we will explore the many ways humans generate electricity on a grand scale! It turns out that behind every flicked switch lies a world of spinning magnets, moving electrons, and ingenious engineering.

A FANTASTIC

VOYAGE WITHIN

Our Fantastic Voyage will carry us into the highways of the human body this week as we explore the circulatory system and discover how blood delivers vital supplies to every cell. Peering at blood beneath the microscope, we’ll uncover its many components and learn how each plays a role in keeping us alive. We’ll then trace blood’s route through arteries, veins, and capillaries before turning our attention to the mighty heart itself. Using models and DIY pumps, we’ll recreate the heart’s powerful double-pump system and see how this tireless organ keeps blood moving day and night. Finally, with stethoscopes in hand, our young medics will listen to their own heartbeats and measure how exercise sends the circulatory system racing into action!

CHEMISTRY IN

PLAIN SIGHT

Can we find chemistry in the wardrobe? You bet we can! The dyes that colour our fashion choices have been highly coveted throughout history, so much so that the Romans would drain the glands of 150,000 snails to colour one imperial purple robe! Since this was far from efficient, the race was on to produce more cost-effective dyes for the masses. And with the advent of these synthetic dyes came serendipitous advances in chemistry, biology and medicine. This week, we will explore the chemical utility of such dyes, using them to visualise how acids and bases interact across pH levels and then squeeze out all the colours of the rainbow from a single dye in our unicorn bottle experiment.
