Definitions of living things, vertebrates, invertebrates, arthropods, habitats, flower structure, food chains

• The 5 conditions which define living things and help to classify animals in a simple way involving vertebrates, invertebrates and arthropods
• The meaning of a habitat and that different animals have different habitats suited to their needs
• The basic structure of a flower is shown and plant growth is examined with particular emphasis on the necessity for light, water and the function of the roots
• A simple food chain is demonstrated

7 conditions for life, chlorophyll, action of U.V light, photosynthesis, plant reproduction, food webs, leaf design

• As KS1 but in greater detail (e.g. the conditions for Life are extended to the full 7)
• The role of chlorophyll and the action of U.V. light on plant growth is demonstrated and photosynthesis is explained in terms of energy
• Plant reproduction is explained and the terms ovary and pollen are introduced
• Food chains are extended to include food webs
• The children are encouraged to examine leaf design with regard to waterproofing, respiration, and energy conversion

Are you a science teacher? The shows will reinforce your teaching plan, and make you laugh.
Not a science teacher? You can be confident Kinetic shows are solidly based on the National Curriculum for Science, and will also make you laugh.

In preparation you will be emailed a ‘Pre-Show Information Pack’. This includes all the science covered in the show, suggested pre and post show activities and discussions.

You can find more information on our FAQ page.

We will answer any of your science questions both before and after a show. Why not email us one now?

You can provisionally book a show by phoning the office. We can discuss any questions you have and check times and dates.

A Kinetic show costs £360 + VAT (1 performance) or £680 + VAT (2 performances). Most schools don’t have to pay the VAT.

It works out less than £1.75 per head based on 2 performances with 200 children per performance!
