Learning at work week: STEM (science, technology, engineering & maths)

A carousel of different science-based activities that are fun for all ages:

• fizzy colours – what happens when you mix Bicarbonate of Soda, vinegar and food colouring
• play dough constructions – who can build the tallest/biggest model using just play dough and straws
• button challenge – how tall you can make your button tower, and how much taller can you make it if you use play dough to help
• paper helicopters – design your ‘chopper’ and explore what makes them spin - can you change the speed to make them go slower or quicker
• pendulum patterns – make your own pendulum and investigate how swing speed is changed when height, length and weight conditions are altered
