Einstein's birthday party pack!: a British Science Association challenge pack for National Science and Engineering Week

Aimed at primary level, the twelve activities within this pack explore forces and solids, liquids and gases in the context of a birthday party for Albert Einstein. Designed to demonstrate key ideas and concepts and to spark an interest in science, they could be used in class or within a science week or club. The activities promote investigative work and communication skills and include: making slime, bubble tennis and racing balloon rockets. Teachers' notes are provided within the pack and include concise summaries of the science involved in the activities.

A Welsh language version of the pack is also available to download, which provides a Welsh student section. This resource is part of the British Science Association’s National Science & Engineering Week activity pack series.
