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 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.
