Carville Primary School

Hello Carville, we’re NUSTEM. We’re based at Northumbria University, and we work across the region supporting children, families and teachers in exploring science, technology, engineering and maths. We’re particularly keen to help people recognise that careers in these STEM subjects are available to them.

On this page you’ll find a summary of the things we’ve done with your school, and links to follow-up activities you can do at home.

What an incredible day the Think Physics team has had at Carville Primary!

I spent the morning exploring meteorites with Year 1 and Year 4/5. We held meteorites that were about 4.57 billion years old! Find out more about what we did here.

In the afternoon, Year 5/6 explored their universe. A journey that took them from the very (very) big to the unimaginably small and from the Sun to the Moon and back again. We used an infrared camera to see through solid objects and tested out a particle accelerator which was a hair-raising experience for some!
