About this event
SciencePlay kids classes are designed to encourage 4-12 yos to explore science in an accessible, tactile, hands-on way. Each class, run for an hour, has 3 experiments/explorations that foster creative thinking, problem solving, questioning, observing, hypothesising and all things STEM in a fun and MESSY way.
You only need to come to ONE class PER week as all classes WITHIN a week are the same (Week 2 is a DIFFERENT topic).
Topic:
Week 1: Wonderful Water
Come and explore one of our planets most amazing resource - water. Did you know water is actually sticky? Test just how sticky it is (.... be careful, don't get wet)! We'll be exploring its properties as a solvent and making solutions and mixtures. We will then connect together a network of mini pipes to see if we could successfully plumb a city without spilling a drop. This is the same session we ran in April 2019 - an oldie but a goodie.
Week 2: Senses and Sensors
You only need to come to one class PER week as they same.
Just how do we navigate our world? How do we take in information? With our senses of course. Put your senses to the test and see if you can identify the mystery smells, sounds and objects. How do sensOrs relate to sensEs and how are they used in our everyday to make our life easier? We'll be using mini robots and their sensors to explore these big questions.
Come along and get your science on!!
