Home edition: Practical science experiments / Educational resources for primary school students aged 9 - 11
Description
A series of practical science experiments designed to be run in a classroom or at home for 9 - 11 year olds. Mostly focused on chemical science but with some physics experiments included too.
PLEASE TAKE CARE IF USING CHEMICALS - READ SAFETY INFORMATION INCLUDED WITH ANY CHEMICALS YOU USE AND WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (GLOVES, GOGGLES ETC.). ALL EXPERIMENTS ARE DESIGNED TO BE REASONABLE SAFE IF DUE CAUTION IS TAKEN. DO NOT DO THESE WITHOUT ADULT SUPERVISION.
Each experiment has been specially designed to be done at home with easy to obtain components.
With the outbreak of Covid-19 and the closure of Schools I wanted to make these resources publicly available for anyone to use as they see fit. Please feel free to modify these experiments/resources to work for you. These sheets were designed to be run by students and their parents/guardians if they were unable to attend school but could equally be run in a classroom.
All I ask is that if you use them, please drop me an email to let me know how it went and let me know how it could be improved. Equally please do email me with any questions you might have on running them or if you want to talk about how to modify them for your particular circumstances.
