Science at home
Aimed at primary level, this pack contains activities that can be done with materials easily found at home. These activities are an ideal way for the whole family to take part in science activities without needing hours of preparation. The activities cover a mixture of topics including: changing state, properties of materials, forces, microorganisms, light and shadows. Designed either for use in class or within a science week or club, they promote investigative work and communication skills and include: making recycled paper, making glue, making honeycomb toffee, observing the decomposition of fruit, making a paddleboat, making a tent and observing the transport of water in plants.
Teachers' notes are provided within the pack and include concise summaries of the science involved in the investigations.
This resource is part of the British Science Association’s National Science & Engineering Week activity pack series.
