Schools information

For Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Chesterfield and the surrounding areas.

Want someone to come and give a talk on lasers to your school? Got a problem understanding the quark model in particle physics, or the expansion of the Universe? We can help!

As part of our activities for Einstein Year 2005 (and beyond!) we now offer *free* general "physics shows", focusing on the links between science and every-day activities! At present, we offer shows on "music and science" and one on "sports and science". These are suitable for pupils from key stage 2 to A level.

We are also actively working on outreach to primary schools - watch this space!

Please contact Dr Susan Cartwright for bookings.
