Whether beginner or boffin, you’ll find your home at Wonder Zone!  With fun science-based activities and experiments, input from real scientists and all kinds of opportunities to explore big questions, these resources encourage children to explore the wonders of the world and discover how the God behind all of it wants to get to know them! Along the way, they will experience the fun of discovery, explore the wonders of the universe, investigate light and colour, be awed by the diversity of the natural world and encounter robots and artificial intelligence. Children and adults alike will find out about who God is and how exploring science and following him can go hand in hand.

With all the fun elements that Scripture Union resources are known for - dramas, songs, videos, activities and games, and input from Faraday Institute scientists and theologians, this is a resource like no other. This is the ideal resource for church groups who want to support, celebrate and encourage children and young people in engaging with the wonders, possibilities and questions of science and its interactions with the Bible and Christian faith.  The flexible program allows for clubs with shorter or longer time scales and also comes with lots of suggestions for how to expand the club to include parents, carers and families or to use the resources in a different context.

Join Harriet, Darwin's pet tortoise, and Milton, Schrodinger's indecisive cat on a time-travelling quest of discovery, unravelling scientific exploration and religious beliefs and how they fit together.

Throughout the centuries humans have been looking for answers to BIG questions - how did the universe start? Is there a God behind it? Has science explained away the need for a God, or can faith enhance scientific discovery?

Take to the skies in this adventure and zoom off into space , exploring the scientific discoveries of the technological age. Step into Harriet and Milton's time machine, bring some snacks, and enjoy this curious quest of discovery.
