Primary Physics: The principles behind Leonardo’s science is the official educational publication accompanying the Da Vinci Machines exhibition.The Educational Supplement and Primary Physics book have been designed to give teachers and students the opportunity to experience some of the excitement and sense of achievement of taking on tasks that will challenge them and stretch what they think they can do.
Building a working model based on the ideas of Leonardo da Vinci will stimulate the imagination, be rewarding and will be fun. The lessons and activities are based on the interactive machines and displays in the exhibition and have been specifically adapted to sequentially build up an understanding of how physics principles form the basis of Leonard’s scientific investigations.
Suitable for ages 8 to adult and ideal for S.T.E.M / S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) learning.
Primary Physics: The principles behind Leonardo’s science was awarded the prestigious Moonbeam Children’s Book Award in the Activity Book category. Supported by The Science Foundation for Physics.
Primary Physics: The principles behind Roman Machines is the official educational publication accompanying the Ancient Rome / Julius Caesar exhibition.

The Educational Supplement and Primary Physics book have been designed to give teachers and students the opportunity to experience some of the excitement and sense of achievement of taking on tasks that will challenge them and stretch what they think they can do.
Building a working model of a battering ram or a rolling tower out of paddlepop sticks, rubber bands and the like will stimulate the imagination and the joy of human simplicity. The book brings together the fundamental lessons of physics and links them together with models of the Roman machines. The lessons have been specifically adapted to sequentially build up an understanding of how physics principles apply to the operation of the Roman machines in the exhibition.
Suitable for ages 8 to adult and ideal for S.T.E.M / S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) learning.
