Rocket Balloons, Bubbles, Drops and Helicopters

Year Group: 3/4

Subject: Science

This thought provoking day will focus on “broadening children’s scientific view of the world around them” (Science programme of study Sept 13). This course will give children the rare opportunity to spend a whole day focused on working scientifically.  It will support accelerated progress within the new programme of study for any child with a questioning mind. During the day course members will be given the opportunity to secure and master the skills that are the outcomes for early Key Stage Two. Children will be given the opportunity to explore, talk about, test, and develop ideas about everyday phenomena. Course members will make and investigate rocket balloons, blow incredible bubbles, and explore the life of a drop.  Most importantly participants will be free to question and investigate the things that interest them; hopefully finding some surprises.
