More about Science of Forces and Magnets

In our workshop, you can gravitate toward the principles of forces and magnetism. You will experience the various interactions of attraction and repulsion between objects and discover how an object can be guided at a distance without direct contact.

What are magnets?

Magnets are metals that are attracted to other metals. While every magnet is classed as a metal, it is essential to note that not all metals have magnetic properties. These materials have various everyday uses in life, such as securing doors and the moving of heavy items, in addition to providing an element of fun.

Magnets have two different ends, referred to as the north pole and the south pole.

When two poles of the same type are brought together, they repel one another. On the other hand, when two different poles are near each other, they display an attractive force.

Magnets can attract or repel each other without direct contact. The space around them has attracting and repelling forces. They are strongest at the poles of the magnet.

Repel or Attract:

Let’s test attraction and repulsion! Provide the group with magnets so they can see it in action themselves. Then, they can test what will happen and what it feels like when the same poles repel and opposite poles attract.

Who has heard the saying ‘opposites attract’? Well, this is where it comes from.

Is it Magnetic?

What materials are magnetic? Let’s find out!

We will provide the class with different objects and have them predict whether they are magnetic. Along the way, we will ask multiple questions, such as ‘What happened?’ and ‘Why?’

Newtons Cradle:

Who is Isaac Newton?

Isaac Newton was one of the greatest scientists in history. His ideas about motion and gravity are very important to the science of physics.

Newton's cradle is an intriguing device that demonstrates the transfer of energy through a series of hanging balls. When one ball is pulled back and released, it collides with the ball next to it, which impacts the next one in line, creating a continuous chain reaction. This process results in the ball on the opposite end swinging upward nearly to the same height as the initial ball, illustrating the principles of momentum and energy conservation.

We get children to test this and try and explain why or how this is happening.

Balloon Car:

Time to race! Testing out force in a fun way with a bit of competition.

To create a balloon-powered car, first attach a balloon to the car . Place the straw at the opening of the balloon, ensuring it is securely fastened. Inflate the balloon to your desired size, preventing any air from escaping until the race is ready to start. "Ready, Set, Go!" At that moment, release the straws and observe the distance and speed at which your balloon car travels.

Did the bigger or smaller balloons move faster or further?

What is the age range for Science of Forces and Magnets?

We recommend this topic for older children. It is more complex and might be harder for younger children to understand.

Warm thanks from our amazing clients.

Edinburgh

An unforgettable experience. Your kids will love it! We had Susie in Edinburgh, she was exceptionally good - with the animals and the kids, and the grown-ups too! We all had an amazing time. I highly recommend booking Susie for Wild Science if you're in Scotland. So many memories made!

Sandylands

Suzie held an event in Sandylands holiday park today and we had a ball! every animal is well cared for and beautiful. very versed on each animals needs and nature, took the time to explain certain facts and even sat down at the end of her time to talk more on her other animals! cannot recommend suzie enough!!

Ajay Syal

We booked a corporate animal therapy session as part of Mental Health Awareness week, and it was truly loved by everyone. The animal expert Harriet was absolutely fantastic - super knowledgable, engaging and clearly passionate about every animal she introduced us to. The visit included a snake, rabbit, gerbil, snail and more - all of which were super theraputic! It was amazing to see how quickly the team relaxed and connected with the animals. Harriet created such a calm environment that even our more hesitant colleagues were soon happily holding the snake.

We can't recommend Wild Science highly enough - if you're looking to boost morale, reduce stress or just do something a little bit different for your team.

Susie was at Parkdean in Saltcoats and it was a fantastic experience. Very knowledgeable and chatted and answered questions from children and adults. Loved it.

Made my child's summer holding a royal python!

Shannagh Aitken

Attended a group with my husband & kids. Youngest being 1 & it was incredible. Different kinds of animals, was able to hold what we could & pet the rest.
Thanks again for the incredible experience! Fidget was amazing & we are now thinking if adding ferrets to the family. I hope fidget enjoys his chicken 🐔

Kids had a total blast at Wild Science. So did mum!
We got to meet a cockroach, a snake, 2 geckos, a bearded dragon, a ferret, a mexican tarantula, and a bunny!
The lady was going to name a cockroach 🪳 after my son Leon 🤣 poor kid was peed and pooped on, it was sooo funny! Everyone had such a great time. Thanks for entertaining us. 😆

Animal visit (Summer Fair Gilmerton Community Centre)
The management committee would like to thank Susie and trainee Amy for bringing the animals to the Community Centres Summer Fair. Once again, they were very popular with adults and children. Those attending said they enjoyed meeting and learning about the animals up close.

Crystal Peaks Shopping Centre

We were delighted to have both Shannon & Amy attend our free family event at Crystal Peaks shopping centre this Friday. Their communication on the run-up to our event was great. On the day, the head office called us to check everything was ready & the hosts arrived in plenty of time. We had a lot of very excited guests that got to enjoy a range of fascinating creatures throughout the day. The team were great with the public & very knowledgeable about their little critters. We can't recommend Wild Science enough. Thank you for making our day so good.

Des Best

The animal expert we were lucky enough to have from wild science was excellent. She even managed to keep the kids at a 7 year old birthday party relatively quiet and very interested. Would highly recommend.

Toni

It was a wonderful day had by all, the adults and children really had a great time every animal was explained in great detail and we will be booking them for further events

Dani Jaff Klein

My son (4) and his friends had the most wonderful time! The scientist was totally able to engage their attention for over an hour and they had fun and learned so much too! Thanks for the best party!

Leah Lorentson

We have used Wild Science for 3 years at our school. Each year they deliver wonderful sessions to Nursery and Reception children. We have never had any issues and would recommend them to everyone. The children love the experience and the animals and staff are amazing!

Jason Ewart

Thank you Wild Science for such an amazing party! Amy was super professional and had the kids eating out of the palm of her hand. My son absolutely loved the animals she brought and we were so impressed with how she handled the group (of 3-5 year olds) and gave them interesting and fun facts about each animal which kept all the kids interested and engaged. It was so much fun, we would highly recommend it!!!

Jasmine Pierce

Ross was absolutely amazing. So patient, kind and knowledgeable of the animals and the slime workshop. We had a party of 20 and with the madness that ensued he was always calm and reassuring for each child if they were apprehensive of holding any animal - big or small. Would 100% book Wild Science again, especially Ross.
Thank you for making our animal lovers birthday so special!

Lucia Williams

Ross came to my sons 3rd birthday, he was brilliant, the kids had a great time, the whole thing was really relaxed and everyone got a good amount of time with the animals and really enjoyed the experience - the customer service beforehand was really good, great communication and lots of questions answered - highly recommend!
