IndusTRY at home *suitable for home teaching*

These activities and investigations are designed so that children can work at home with their families. The ones aimed at children aged seven and above will need some help from an adult to get started. The ones aimed at younger children will need more adult support and are designed for families to enjoy together. The activities for younger children also have ideas for linked school-based activities, although all activities for this age group would work in either setting.

Further information, plus videos connected to the activities, may be found here.

Salt and ice

What happens when we add a pinch of salt to a lump of ice? This activity provides a chance for children to investigate the phenomenon and to find out how it relates to their everyday lives.

Sort it

This activity encourages children to appreciate how much science has gone into developing a range of different packaging materials and to highlight how easy it is to take disposable packaging for granted.

Hats off to science

Children are invited to work as material scientists to investigate the best material to make a hat for teddy. This investigation may lead to other investigations as well as discussion around about what we mean by ‘best’.

Making ripples

This activity, ideal for a bright sunny day in any season, invites children and their families to notice the patterns created by ripples on water.
