Science

Below are two science activities you can carry out at home, one for each week you are self-isolating. One is an investigation which links to our unit of work on 'materials and their uses' and the other is a Christmas STEM activity and competition from the Institute of Engineering and Technology.  We really hope you'll enjoy both!

The Snowman's Coat

Work through the powerpoint and follow the instructions to see if you can help stop the snowman from melting in the sun.

Design a Christmas super sleigh

Follow the link below to the IET's website and watch the video 'Help Santa Save the North Pole'. Then click on the link underneath to 'Enter the Competition'. This will give you all the instructions you need plus plenty of ideas. Use the worksheet below to record your idea, or alternatively you could use a blank piece of paper or make a video explaining your design.
