Launchbox

Use our innovative Launchbox with your class or club, and work together using ideas about forces and motion, energy transfer, materials, electricity and magnetism, light and sound to design and build a chain reaction contraption.

Launchbox is an exciting new KS3 resource that explores the six areas of science covered in our highly popular Launchpad interactive gallery:

  • light
  • sound
  • electricity and magnetism
  • energy transfer
  • forces and motion
  •  materials

Students use the hands-on investigative activities supplied in Launchbox to create their own ‘inefficient machine’, with inspiration from our film ‘On The Move’.

Each Launchbox comes with a url giving access to all the supporting materials you need, including an inspirational video and full teacher instructions. So it's all ready for you to use in your classroom teaching or STEM Club with minimal preparation or fuss.

"I have just received our Launchbox. I have to say it is fantastic! I was very excited to receive it. The way it is put together, the science behind it all, the thought and attention to detail and the way it all comes together is top notch."  Kerry Newton, Science Teacher, Marple Hall School, Stockport.

Launchbox is accredited for the Bronze CREST Award.
