Can we see air? What happens when we trap it, blow it or use it to move something?
In Air Detectives, children become little scientists as they explore something that is all around us but cannot be seen: air!
Through playful, hands-on experiments, children will discover that even though air is invisible, we can observe what it does. They will experiment with an upside-down cup in water, create bubbles, blow and move different objects, and take on a fun Wind Challenge where they have to figure out how to make an object move using only air.
Children are encouraged to predict what might happen, test their ideas and discover the answers through experimentation.
A playful introduction to STEM that turns an everyday concept into an exciting scientific discovery.
n Little Builders, children become young engineers as they explore how to build structures that are strong, balanced and stable.
Children will experiment with different building materials, create towers and test what happens when their structures become too tall or unbalanced. Instead of simply being shown how to build, they will be encouraged to observe why something falls and think about how they can improve it.
For their building challenge, children will use what they have discovered to design and build a shelter for a toy animal.
Through building, testing and trying again, children experience an important part of STEM learning: discovering that when something doesn't work the first time, we can change our design and try a new solution.
