STEM SCIENCE LEARNING ACTIVITIES

Below I have added lots of different Science resources that come from the STEM Website. The Stem Website is a fantastic Science, Technology and Maths Resource which has many different Science lessons and Science Starter activities for you to try.

By clicking on the links below you can go to different parts of their website which has different activities and resources. One part of the website allows you to watch a Science video and then complete work on it afterwards, whereas the other link offers more practical activities and Science starters for you to take part in.

Whenever you complete any of these activities make sure you put it on your blog so I can give you lots of j2 stars. Please make sure you check out some of the activities as I am sure you will really enjoy them!

Starters for Stem- Activities include: experimenting with paper aeroplanes exploring what you can build with one cup of Lego finding out where food in your house has come from making a telescope observing the moon going on a colour walk Starters for STEM consists of lots of easy to run activities suitable for children from 4-11. Designed for parents to use at home they help children develop their science, technology, engineering and maths skills. These activities are easy-to-resource and provide children with the stimulus to talk about the world around them. They are designed to be fun for children and easy to run for parents, who can chose to do as many as they wish.

STEM Remote Lessons for KS1- Videos and Worksheets to complete Taking part in these lessons is simple - children first watch and make notes on the video. Parents/carers can then download the worksheets and invite children to complete each of the activities provided, referring back to the video as they go. The accompanying live Q&A sessions* provide the opportunity to ask questions and go through the answers to the worksheets.
