Notice reference #: 1HAfYP

Science in a Van delivers fast paced, high energy science shows in your school hall! We inspire staff and students with our fun, affordable and engaging approach to science.

We come to you which means that there's no additional travel costs, recruiting parent helpers or the paperwork that comes with going off-site.

The pricing is simple too and usually works out to $6.50+gst per student. 

How will the day look? Here's a sample timetable (this can be adjusted to fit with your bell times):

9am: Science in a Van arrives and sets up

9.45–10.30am: Science Show 1

11.30am–12.15pm: Science Show 2

12.15–12.45pm: Science in a Van packs up and leaves school

Each science show is 45 minutes long and covers the Nature of Science and the scientific process.
