Indicative content
As we need to be able to adapt to the weather, exciting natural events and bouts of inspiration it is impossible to give a definite list or order of topics and activities, but we are likely to be studying:
- Woodland house construction *(measuring, using tools, angles, forces)
- Lichen *(identification, indicator species, types, measurement, biological role)
- Friction*(What is it? experimental design, role in engineering and machinery)
- pH rockets *(different groups may have very different learning foci: pH chemistry, experimental design, chemical reactions, pressure)
- Journey to the centre of the earth! *(structure of the earth, seismic waves and measurement)
- Heat transfer *(conduction of heat energy
*provides an overview of the potential learning objectives across all groups, but these are adapted to suit individuals and groups.
Registration
Shortly after booking, Sparking STEM will send you an email with an online registration form. Registration provides us with all the information we need to make sure we can meet your child's individual needs and keep them safe and well, providing you with the option to leave them in our care and gradually increase their independence as you deem suitable. For this reason we cannot accept children on a session without prior completion of the registration form.
