Walter Ralegh – Prisoner and Scientist

Suitable for older Key Stage Two (Sc3 Separating mixtures of materials) our session Walter Ralegh – Prisoner and Scientist recreates his distillation experiment focusing on the scientific processes involved.

The pupils will be encouraged to think about various separating techniques and will carry out an experiment linked to these.

We generally offer two sessions a day each with a maximum of 35 students. A session will last from one hour to an hour and half.

Our sessions are £6 per student, with one adult free per ten students.
