• Encourage curiosity. Children can use science experiments and activities to find answers to questions which will probably lead to more questions and hopefully help nurture a natural curiosity and understanding about the world around them.
• Get outdoors – science is a great way to encourage children outside. Whether it’s making rockets, building water walls or just trying some sinking and floating it’s always good to be outside.
• Planning skills – science projects help develop planning and problem solving skills as well as the resilience to keep trying if something doesn’t work first time.
• Team work – science experiments are a brilliant way to encourage children to work as part of a team and for parents to spend quality time with children too!
