4 SESSION SCIENCE CLUB IN TAVISTOCK
4 session during Jan-Feb 2026
£70 for the block of 4 (£17.50/session)
Introducing our Home-ed Science Club for ages 4-11 approx. 4 action-packed 90-minute sessions designed to spark curiosity, build skills and unleash your young scientist’s confidence!
Across the 4 sessions, children get their hands on real science kit, run proper experiments and explore the amazing systems inside our bodies and the world around us. Every session is fully guided, hands-on and fun.
Topics
Session 1 — Welcome to the Lab!
We kick off with science lab basics: using proper lab equipment, measuring, pipetting, staying safe, and discovering acids & alkalis. Expect colourful pH testing and a fab fizzing reaction when we mix them together!
Session 2 — Biology Bonanza
We dive inside the digestive system and meet Amy, our full-size gut puppet who LOVES to eat. Kids explore what happens to food on its journey and try hands-on biology experiments. We introduce enzymes using yeast and catalase, produce real oxygen gas and run simple tests to detect it!
Session 3 — Gases, Lungs & Blood!
What’s in the air around us? Why do we breathe? Children investigate gases in our atmosphere, explore how the respiratory system works, try stethoscopes & sphygmomanometers, and build models to discover how blood is made and what it does.
Session 4 — Electricity & Engineering Fun!
We finish with circuits and creativity! Kids build simple electric circuits, design and light up their own playdough sculptures, and experience hair-raising static with the Van de Graaff generator — always a crowd favourite

Testimonials
Your lessons have been incredible this year, I went from a child leaving school hating science and not wanting anything to do with it, to a child that really enjoys getting stuck in and experimenting and exploring. Thank you for giving him enjoyment from science and lots of laughs and smiles.
- Ruth was brilliant at engaging my daughter in the home ed biology lessons, Danielle really enjoyed them and Ruth was happy to help and answer everyone's questions. looking forward to joining more Home ed sessions in the future.
I've loved doing my home ed biology lessons with Ruth they were really fun she answered all my questions and didn't rush.Thank you for a fantastic week of science!! Jack has really enjoyed himself and will deffo be recommending. See you in March for the next club.
- Ruth’s science sessions have been wonderful for my children recently and they have all got so much from them. It really brings the fun of science to life for them and makes them enthusiastic about it. So much so that when my daughter had a day at school recently where they had to dress as what they would like to do when they are older she went as a scientist!!Actually we have been so impressed with the sessions that we booked Ruth for my daughters birthday party and the kids all had a ball. Ruth’s enthusiasm for the subject is infectious. I would highly recommend her sessions as well as the birthday parties! They are also amazing value for money.
Lots of fun, engaging activities and enough repetition of the sciency bit to make it stick. Thanks Ruth, we will be doing more of your classes for sure!
Each session had three really fun and engaging activities, well taught and explained. None of the activities were “duds” or time fillers and my daughter was inspired to follow up each session with further investigation. The sessions were well priced and we are sad they have come to an end
Love that home educators are deliberately catered for with daytime classes available, and Ruth is great at engaging with the children
My two sons have completed their first Crest Award and I can’t recommend Ruth highly enough! They have learnt so much, had incredible fun and blossomed! We LOVE LOVE LOVE Sciencedipity
