Glasgow Science Centre is an educational charity and our education programme is at the core of our mission. Each of the structured learning sessions is carefully aligned with the objectives of the Curriculum for Excellence and our overall offer has been approved by HMIe.

New this year is an expanded choice of films at Cineworld IMAX, with a new ‘on demand’ slot for early visits. We’re repeating our popular and free teacher evenings in October 2014 and January 2015 and our partnership programme brings you and your students new opportunities to explore careers in STEM, generally and in specific industry sectors.

We may be able to support a visit financially and our ‘On Tour’ outreach programme covers the length and breadth of Scotland, bringing science to your school and community no matter how remote. We look forward to seeing you during the 14/15 academic year.

IMAX presents crystal clear images on a giant screen. So immersive is the 3D that students will reach out and try to touch the images that surround them. Its an incredibly stimulating way to start topical discussions or to consolidate your existing studies. Watch out for special lectures and events that will build upon these incredible films. In 2015 we will be installing laser projection to make the images bigger, brighter and even more inspiring.


SPACE STATION 3DSpace Station is the story of 16 nations coming together to perform the greatest engineering feat in history. Students will learn about how the station was built, what it is like to live in space, what it means to be an astronaut or engineer and what the experiments on the Station teach us about our world. With the UK sending its first ever astronaut, Tim Peake to the ISS in 2015 there has never been a better time to engage students with this incredible feat.

Science | Planet Earth | Space

UNDER THE SEA 3D Climate change and the effect on the natural environment is uppermost in all our minds. Here you can explore the wonders of the most exotic and isolated undersea locations on Earth. Your students will experience face-to-face encounters with some of the most mysterious and stunning creatures of the sea in amazing immersive 3D and see how their environment is changing.

Planet Earth | Climate Change | Biodiversity and Interdependence

TO THE ARCTIC 3DIn one of Earth’s harshest environments see the effect man is having and the resulting challenges facing its wildlife. Following the lives of Arctic polar bears this film will show you what it takes to survive in the wild.


ISLAND OF LEMURS: MADAGASCAR 3DThis film highlights the tireless efforts of trailblazing scientist Dr. Patricia C. Wright and her life long mission to help these strange and adorable creatures survive in the modern world. Captured with IMAX 3D cameras, the film takes audiences on a spectacular journey to the remote and wondrous world of Madagascar, where lemurs arrived millions of years ago as castaways. They’ve since evolved into hundreds of diverse species, but are now highly endangered.

LEARNING

The Open Air Laboratories (OPAL) is an environmental project which aims to connect children and adults with the natural environment. We give everybody the chance to explore nature through our six surveys, which investigate the health of the UK environment.

Our surveys have been designed by scientists, to be carried out by you and your class. Our team of Community Scientists can tailor activities to fit around the Curriculum for Excellence, to help you meet you outdoor education targets.

From bug hunts to pond dipping, pupils will learn basic survey techniques and have the chance to contribute real scientific data to a UK wide environmental report.

To find out more, visit www.opalexplorenature.org or contact our Community Scientist, Joanne Dempster: [email protected]
