Superpillars Assemble!
Superpillars Assemble! is an interactive dance workshop for KS1/KS2 children to learn about butterflies, moths and conserving their habitats. This project was created in collaboration with Oxford Brookes University Science Bazaar and the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH).
ABOUT
Superpillars Assemble! is part of Butterflies Under Pressure; a series of engaging practical science activities for KS1/KS2 primary school children (aged 5-11), using dance and PE activities to engage kinaesthetic learners with the curriculum topic “Living things and their habitats”.
Superpillars Assemble! is now available as a learning resource on Stem Learning, the UK's largest provider of STEM education and careers support to schools, colleges and community groups.
