Mr Winchlever, the science teacher at St Trolleywheels School, has mysteriously disappeared. One of his pupils, Fatima Chipsnburger is curious to find out why. Could the evil Baron Von Frictionhaulter and his antigravity machine hold the answer?

Through a series of scientific adventures the basic principals of motion, levers, balances and weights are used to unravel this spine chilling mystery... St Trinian's School meets Hammer House of Horror, the show is based on the relevant sections of the National Curriculum for England and Wales and the National Guidelines for Environmental Studies in Scotland..

 

  

 

 

 

  
 

 

In the Infant (4 - 7) performance, the nature and uses of forces are examined and are treated as pushes, pulls, twists and turns. The forces of Gravity and Friction are introduced and explored.

In the Junior (7 - 12) version we build on this introducing Newtons as the unit of measurement for forces and a Newtonmeter is used. Magnetism is explored, force equations are introduced and the principle of pressure is demonstrated.
