Science Home Learning!

Posted: Mar 26, 2020 by: t.reid on: Science Blog

Hello everyone!  We hope you are all well!

We thought it might be useful to provide some science activities for you to do at home.

Science has changed a lot in schools and we encourage the children to think for themselves, making their own opinions through investigation and observation, which helps to develop their questioning.  These are all key steps to working scientifically - a key focus of the National Curriculum in Science!

Now, thinking back to science lessons for parents may conjure up memories of writing long science reports and learning lists and lists of facts, but not at Gildersome Primary!

We want the children to learn through doing, exploring, investigating, questioning for themselves and getting stuck in!   

Now, hopefully this post will provide lots of different activities that you can do at home and give some ideas of how parents can help their children continue their science learning with some simple household items.

There are even more fun experiments to do at home at: https://mommypoppins.com/kids/50-easy-science-experiments-for-kids-fun-educational-activities-using-household-stuff

And also lots of fun games to play on https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/z2pfb9q

Please take some photos of your experiments and send them to your teacher on Microsoft Teams.

Have fun!
