What are these self-paced clubs all about?
Everyone can enjoy hands-on science with these self-paced virtual clubs where we send you the kit and you get access to all the lessons!
Choose from: Chemistry Science, Horrid Science & Inventors Science
These are perfect alternatives to our live online clubs. The content is the same as the live clubs, but they’re just not live!
+ Suitable for ages 5-11 with parent supervision.
+ We send you the kit, so you don’t have to gather the materials, we’ve done that for you!
+ Clubs are eligible towards the Childrens University passports.
+ Youngsters can work towards the British Science Association’s CREST Award (£5 to register, need to complete 8 of your own experiments inspired by the ones in the clubs, email us on [email protected] for more info)
+ Tutorials are pre-recorded for you to watch when it suits you, providing you with step by step guides to carry out the experiment plus the science theory behind the activity.
+ When you’re ready for a science lesson, just grab the kit and follow along!

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.The sick experiment was my favourite
I liked the gene making, but everything was good
You and the group were amazing
Me and Jack's favourite was the owl pellet, everything you do is perfect.
Thank you so much to the team at Sciencedipity. My girls absolutely love science and the online classes have definitely made this aspect of home educating fun and accessible. Thank you so much and can't wait to get involved with more science
Thank you, Ruth, for your seriously inspiring online science sessions. My two kids spent many days afterwards re-creating the experiments in different ways - thanks to the excellent equipment kits you sent in the post. It's brilliant how you teach them the scientific principles behind the fun stuff, they love going on to apply those principles in other situations. They have learned so much and we will definitely be back for more.
We had a marvellous time. Your energy and creativity are really appreciated. My son loves the class.
He really enjoyed it, he was absolutely buzzing afterwards and is looking forward to next week
I can not thank you enough for today. The kids absolutely loved it!
just wanted to say a massive thank you for this morning, the children so enjoyed it!
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
Many thanks for your amazing lessons! They are so good at inspiring young scientists and introducing scientific concepts in a fun way.
Absolutely fantastic online classes. My 5yo looks forward to them every week and it has really fed his love of science and provided lots more avenues for him to explore in his own time. The kits are always well organised and the little added treats make it that bit more special and exciting for young children to receive.
