Hello Byker, we’re NUSTEM. We’re based at Northumbria University, and we work across the region supporting children, families and teachers in exploring science, technology, engineering and maths. We’re particularly keen to help people recognise that careers in these STEM subjects are available to them.
On this page you’ll find a summary of the things we’ve done with your school, and links to follow-up activities you can do at home.
Today the Reception children have been investigating magnets and have been finding out which materials are magnetic and which are not. Can your child predict if an object will stick to a magnet, and can they tell you why they think that? For more information about activities you can do with magnets, click here.
