Book onto as many of our six taster sessions as you like — all completely free.
These sessions are designed for adults and their children to enjoy together: a chance to learn some Science, see how we teach, and ask any questions you may have about joining our September 2026 iGCSE Combined Science cohort.
Biology Taster: Mon 24th August 2026 2pm
When food chains go wrong
Dive into the hidden drama of ecosystems and discover what really happens when a single species disappears. In this short taster session, you’ll explore how food chains unravel, why some populations explode, and how tiny changes can trigger huge ecological consequences.
Biology Taster: Tues 25th August 2026 10am
Why do we get ill?
Find out what really makes us ill. In this taster session, you’ll explore different types of pathogens, how they invade the body, and the symptoms they cause. We’ll also look at how antibiotics work — and why they don’t cure everything.
Physics Taster: Weds 26th August 2026 1pm
The Life Cycle of a Star
Ever wondered how stars are born, shine brightly for millions of years, and then end their lives in spectacular explosions or mysterious fades? Join our taster session on The Life Cycle of a Star and take a glimpse into the cosmic story behind everything that sparkles in the night sky.
Chemistry Taster: Tues 1st September 2026 7pm
Why do sugar factories need to reduce explosion risks?
Sugar might seem simple, but when it’s turned into a fine dust it behaves very differently. In this taster session, you’ll explore how tiny particles can react much faster than larger ones, why surface area matters, and how this links to the surprising risks found in sugar factories. You’ll uncover the science behind fast reactions — and see how something as everyday as sugar can become unexpectedly reactive.
Physics Taster: Weds 2nd September 2026 4pm
How do speed cameras work?
Join our short, interactive online taster session and uncover the simple physics needed to answer the question How do speed cameras work? Using the formula speed = distance ÷ time, you’ll explore how real measurements turn into accurate speed checks — and why the maths is far easier than you might think. Perfect for curious students who want to see how science and everyday technology connect. Come along and discover the clever calculations keeping our roads safe.
Chemistry Taster: Thurs 3rd September 2026 11am
How are ‘green hydrogen’, chlorine for water sterilisation, and soap linked?
These three useful products all come from the same starting point: salty water. In this taster session, you’ll discover how electrolysis can split brine into hydrogen, chlorine, and sodium hydroxide — and how each of these products is used in the real world. From clean energy to safe drinking water to everyday soap, you’ll see how one simple process creates chemicals we rely on every day.
