Where science meets creativity
Not just an experiment.
A project they can be proud of.
Children learn science most powerfully when they can see it, touch it, question it and explain it. Each project begins with an accessible scientific idea, then invites children to make, test, adapt and present something of their own.
The goal is not a perfect model. It is the confidence to ask, “What will happen if I try this?” and the independence to find out.
Projects with a purpose
Make. Measure.
Improve. Share.
Projects move beyond copying instructions. Children make predictions, notice patterns, compare results and decide how to communicate what they discovered.
- 01Cardboard models and working mechanisms
- 02Kitchen chemistry and material investigations
- 03Biology observations and living-world challenges
- 04Posters, demonstrations and mini presentations
A simple rhythm, twice a month
From “What is that?” to “Let me show you.”
Make
A clear guide helps them build or investigate using familiar, affordable materials.
Explore
Prompts encourage predictions, fair testing, measuring, troubleshooting and improvement.
Explain
They teach the idea back using their model, a poster or a short family presentation.
Two age-appropriate pathways
The same big wonder.
The right level of challenge.
Choose one pathway for your household, or select the Complete Family Science Lab for access to both.
AGES 7–11 · KS2
Science Explorers
- Shorter instructions and strong visual guidance
- Everyday scientific vocabulary
- Observation, sorting, measuring and simple fair tests
- Drawing, model-making and show-and-tell prompts
AGES 11–14 · KS3
Science Investigators
- Deeper explanations and more independent planning
- Variables, evidence and evaluation
- Design improvements and extension challenges
- Structured scientific communication and presentation
Age 11 sits across the transition. Choose the pathway that best matches your child’s confidence and experience.
Learning through teaching
If you can explain it, you understand it more deeply.
Every project ends with an age-appropriate communication challenge. Children might create a display poster, demonstrate a model, record a short explanation or teach the idea to someone at home.
Skills that reach beyond science
Curious minds become capable learners.
Curiosity
Ask better questions and discover the science hidden in everyday life.
Creativity
Design, build and improve something that feels uniquely theirs.
Scientific thinking
Predict, test, observe, record and draw evidence-based conclusions.
Communication
Explain what happened through posters, models and short presentations.
Independence
Follow a process, solve problems and take ownership of a project.
Resilience
Treat unexpected results as useful information, not failure.
Inside every project
Everything you need.
Nothing unnecessarily complicated.

Questions families may have
Good to know before you begin.
Do you send a physical kit?
No. Projects use everyday household materials and inexpensive items available from supermarkets or hobby shops. Every guide includes a materials list in advance.
Is adult supervision required?
Some projects can be completed independently, while others need an adult nearby. Every guide clearly identifies safety notes and adult-only steps.
Can siblings use the same membership?
Yes. Children in the same household can use one membership when they are following the same age pathway.
What if I have children in both age groups?
Choose the Complete Family Science Lab for access to both Science Explorers and Science Investigators. It costs £16.99 per month, saving £2.99 compared with purchasing both pathways separately.
Which pathway should we choose at age 11?
Choose the pathway that best matches your child’s confidence and experience. You can also change pathway as their needs develop.
Can we cancel?
Yes. The proposed membership is monthly and can be cancelled before the next billing date.
