Welcome to
Whacky Science! |
Whacky Science is a fantastic opportunity for primary school
children to explore
the world of science.
It’s a fun way to bring science teaching (and learning)
to life.
| You’ll find ‘Whacky
Packs’ on
a number of topics under the headings
‘Plants’, ‘Body’ and
‘Materials’.
Each Whacky Pack contains information and facts as well as activities
that can be done at home or in school. And, wherever you see the
‘Whacky
Question Mark’, you know there’s lots to think about and
investigate! |
 |
For teachers
 |
Whacky Science links to the Science KS2 topics
‘Life Processes, Living Things, Sound and Light, Friction, Forces and
Sound, as outlined in the QCA schemes of work.
There is more information about this in the 'Teachers' area.
All activities are designed to enable children to work
independently at home or in school. They can be set as homework or class
projects.
Each activity and its related questions enables children
to look at the processes involved in scientific inquiry and stimulate an
interest in further research. |
For children
You don’t have to wait for your teacher to tell
you when to use ‘Whacky Packs’…you can try them
whenever
you want!
However, some of the activities can be a bit messy and
you may need permission before you use certain bits and pieces. So,
remember,
always ask a responsible adult (a parent or guardian) before you
start! |
