Chemistry Planetarium Shows
Shrink down to the size of a molecule. Our 360° chemistry films make atomic structure, bonding and the chemistry of the body visible all around your students.

See the invisible, at full scale
Atoms, molecules and bonds are hard to picture on a whiteboard. Inside a full-dome theatre, students travel through them. The structure of a molecule wraps around the whole class, so abstract ideas from the specification become something they have actually seen.
Every visit is run by our own presenters, who introduce the film, link it to what you are teaching and take questions afterwards. We bring the dome to your school, anywhere in the UK, and set it up in your hall.

How long is a show?
Most 360° films run 20–40 minutes. We usually pair a film with a live, presenter-led introduction and a Q&A, so each group gets around 45–60 minutes in the dome.
Which year groups is the chemistry show for?
Wake up and Smell the Coffee is pitched at AS and A-level chemistry and biology students. For younger year groups, we recommend our hands-on chemistry workshops or a space show.
How much space do we need?
A school hall or sports hall is ideal. Our domes need a flat indoor space and a standard plug socket. We will confirm the exact dome size and ceiling height when you enquire.
How many pupils can watch at once?
Typically a full class of around 30 per show, depending on age and dome size. We run back-to-back sessions so the whole year group can take part in one day.
Can we mix subjects on the same day?
Yes. Any show in the catalogue can be booked alongside others, so you can run maths for one year group and geography or space for another on the same visit.
