Content

  • Learning Show Description

    Step into the world of clever strategy and scientific thinking in The Science of Slytherin. In this 5-week interactive science block, learners will explore the real science behind snakes, potions, light, deep-sea creatures and magical materials. From investigating how vipers inject venom to discovering how we see colour and why certain woods make better “wands”, this course blends serious science learning with hands-on experiments and critical thinking. Each session includes practical activities, discussion, and a short end-of-lesson quiz to build confidence and understanding. This block is ideal for curious learners who enjoy asking questions, testing ideas, and thinking strategically.

  • Course Objectives:
    By the end of this block, learners will be able to: • Describe the behaviour and adaptations of one viper and one constrictor. • Explain how at least three chemical reactions occur. • Explain how we see coloured light. • Describe the behaviour and habitat of a giant squid. • Explain what characteristics make an eagle owl a reliable pet for a wizard. • Compare the properties of elder wood with another type of wood and justify which would make the best wand. • Describe the chemical composition of water, its main properties, and how it changes state. Aims of the block: • To develop scientific thinking and reasoning. • To strengthen learners’ ability to explain how and why things happen. • To build confidence in using scientific vocabulary. • To encourage curiosity, observation and strategic problem-solving.

Tutor

Carrie Ann .

Science Tutor

My name is Carrie Ann Booth 👩🏼‍🔬🧪💥 and I teach Primary Science, KS3 Science, IGCSE Biology, IGCSE Chemistry and IGCSE Marine Science.

I have a degree in Biochemistry with Science Communication and over 20 years of experience teaching science in schools, online, and through hands-on workshops and shows. Alongside teaching in the hub, I am also the founder of The Science Booth, where I bring science to life for thousands of children each year through explosive demos, practical investigations, and unforgettable learning experiences.

My teaching style is all about “serious science learning… but not too serious!” I believe children learn best when they are encouraged to ask questions, get messy, explore ideas, and see the real-world magic of science for themselves. My lessons are energetic, engaging, and full of curiosity, creativity, and wow moments.

Science matters because it shapes the future. Today’s curious children could become tomorrow’s:

👩🏼‍🔬 Doctors 👨🏽‍🔬 Research Scientists 👩🏼‍🔧 Engineers 👨🏻‍💻 Innovators 👩🏾‍🚀 Space Explorers 👨🏼‍🔬 Marine Biologists 👩🏻‍💻 Technology Creators

More than anything, I want children to leave my sessions feeling confident, curious, and excited to learn. If we can inspire children to question, investigate, and think scientifically, those are skills they will carry with them for life… and who knows, we may even inspire a future Nobel Prize winner along the way!
