What the teachers said about the Push Pull Move Show

“We really loved Science Alive. Students in each age group were really engaged. The teachers across the whole school were impressed and thought the show was a valuable experience!
The students learnt a lot, and this streamed out more with their conversations throughout the week. So easy to organise.”
