Educational Programmes & Trips
Our Educational Programme
From lesson plans to the big school trip, Zip World’s Gravity in Geography offers ultimate convenience for teachers and an exciting, educational experience for pupils.
Take the programme (available in English and Welsh) at your own pace as you journey through the pre-visit presentations and activities with your KS2 or KS3 class, touching on elements of map-reading, heritage, forces, and design work, all of which come with lesson plans and pleanery sheets. The in-classroom activities all gear up for the visit to Zip World, where you will have your very own Zip World guide to host your visit and apply everything you’ve learnt in the classroom to a real-life scenario (the adventure activity of course!).
Pick from a Zip World Penrhyn Quarry, Betws-y-Coed, Llechwedd or Tower programme to suit your location, and we will send you everything you need and arrange the accompanying school trip at a time that suits you (subject to availability).
All programmes have been developed by an educational expert and are fully linked to the National Curriculum.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss your Gravity in Geography package for your school or college, please contact us by emailing schools@zipworld.co.uk or calling us on 01248 601 444.

School Trips AvailableIn the Elements
Children who get the opportunity to learn outdoors regularly are more curious, self-directed and likely to stay with the task longer. Spending time in nature can additionally help improve moods and increase happiness encouraging children to appreciate nature and grow up wanting to protect the environment around them.
Learning Support
Zip World will provide pre-visit lesson plans to help build excitement in the classroom. There will also be a full activity booklet to use during the visit to keep children focussed but also to have fun. Teachers will receive answer booklets to support students during the excursion.
Real-Life Examples
During the programme pupils will be exploring the ecological surroundings of the Welsh landscape where they will examine real-life gravitational forces in caves, forests and quarries. A brilliant way to bring gravity and geography to life rather through technology that is fun, engaging and memorable.
Adventure Design
Once back in the classroom, lesson plans are provided to support pupils with extended thinking and understanding from what they have learnt so far. Activities will encourage pupils to put into practice what they have learnt by designing their own adventures taking the environment and sustainability into consideration.
