The human body is the entire physical and mental structure of a human organism. By the time the human reaches adulthood, the body consists of around 10 trillion cells. Groups of cells combine to form tissue, which combines to form organs, which work together to form organ systems. This workshop is about the human body and its enthralling wonders. It includes experiments about lung capacity, digestion, DNA, the skeleton, pulse, as well as embryonic stages.

The word “Matter” refers to the substance of which objects are made. It is defined as anything that has both mass and volume. Matter can exist in several different forms, known as phases, which have chemical composition and physical properties. These phases include three familiar ones; solid, liquid, and gas; as well as more exotic states, such as plasmas, super fluids, super solids, Bose-Einstein condensates. During this workshop, students will learn the different forms of matter, and get to examine each phase of it.

Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences. It is the scientific study of celestial bodies and phenomena. It is concerned with evolution, physics, chemistry, meteorology, and the motion of celestial objects, as well as the formation and development of the universe. In this classic workshop, students learn more about the Solar System through a variety of fun experiments, including the making of a solar system model and the construction of a rocket!

Micro-Organisms |

In biology, an organism is a living system. A micro-organism is an organism that is microscopic; too small to be seen by the naked eye. The study of micro-organisms is known as microbiology. Micro-organisms are very diverse; they include bacteria, fungi, microscopic plants, such as green algae, and animals such as amoeba. Some micro-organisms are considered non-living, such as viruses and microbes that are exploited by people in biotechnology. What is a microbe? What is a virus? Which are good microbes and which are bad? In this workshop, students will learn the answers to these questions and more.

Density |
|
01 December 2009
- 03 December 2009
|
|
Density is a physical property of matter as each element and compound has a unique density associated with it; thus making it an important property of any matter. Understanding density helps us know the answer to many questions, one of which is: why do some objects float on water while others sink in it? This workshop introduces children to the theory of density and floating bodies through fun experiments.

- 19 November 2009
|
|
Electronics is a very interesting branch of science and technology that deals with electric devices and the flow of electrons. At the end of this workshop, students will be able to identify the concept of an electric current, recognize the conditions for obtaining it and carry out activities to set up a simple electric circuit.
