Spectacular demonstrations that illustrate concepts such as reactivity,

and ‘compound’.
Forces

This show is pitched at year seven as an introduction to forces at KS3,
covering many of the same topics as the KS2 show but at a higher level.

forces, gravity, electromagnetism, pressure, rotational forces and the
difference between mass and weight.
