Children are naturally scientists – their curiosity helps them to understand the world around them. The children at Glenwood love to do their own experiments – developing their skills of scientific inquiry and creativity as they work.<\/p>\n

They ask questions and make predictions, follow instructions and make observations, developing skills for learning, life and work.<\/p>\n

Here are a few simple experiments and investigations you can try at home…<\/p>\n

Click on the link to find out how to Make a Bubble Snake\u00a0 <\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here is a reminder of the bubble mix recipe:<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup of washing up liquid, 1 1\/2 cups water & 2 teaspoons of sugar<\/p>\n

You could use straws or other tubes to blow bubbles (or anything else with holes…)<\/p>\n

Make a Paper Aeroplane<\/a> (follow the link for instructions)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Which is the best design for flying fast?<\/p>\n

Which goes the furthest?<\/p>\n

Why don’t you have a competition with your whole family?<\/p>\n

Create a Volcanic Eruption<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a favourite at Glenwood – it can get messy so you might like to do it outside!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>First make your volcano – you could use an empty plastic bottle or yoghurt pot and some sand or mud.<\/p>\n

Next put some bicarbonate of soda in the volcano (along with some ketchup or food colouring\u00a0 or paint to make the lava red)<\/p>\n

Finally pour in some vinegar and watch the eruption!<\/p>\n

Lego Boat Challenge<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Can you make a boat that floats using Lego?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How many pennies can it hold before it sinks?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another challenge for the whole family to get involved with!<\/p>\n

Build a Bug Hotel<\/strong><\/p>\n

You could create a home for minibeasts in your garden – it can be big and fancy like the one on the\u00a0RSPB website<\/a> but a simple one using recycled materials will also attract wildlife.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don’t forget there are some other science experiments\u00a0 in your Ideas for Home Booklet March 2020<\/a><\/p>\n
