Iron meteorite from Chaco, Argentina. One of the ‘Campo del Cielo’ fragments first found in 1576.
Today Year 3 became geologists and investigated meteorites which are rocks from space. For more activities to try at home, go to our meteor crater activity.
On Monday and Tuesday, Year 6 found out how environmental modellers collect and use data to predict the future. To find out more about environmental modellers, how to help the environment and for modelling activities you can try at home, click here.
On Monday Reception children became lighting engineers and on Tuesday so did the Nursery children, investigating light and shadows. To make your own shadow tubes at home using only a torch, a toilet roll tube, some cling film and a small piece of paper, go to our STEM at home page.
Today Year 1 children became materials scientists and investigated materials using weight, electricity and magnets. Why not investigate how strong the materials in your home are by trying our NUSTEM at home Bridge Building activity?
This afternoon it was the turn of the second Reception class to become meteorologists and investigate the weather. Why not try a sunny weather activity and make a reflective mobile? This just uses anything shiny you can find around your home.
Today the first Reception class became meteorologists and discovered how rainbows are made. They also investigated the wind using wind socks and kites. To find out how to make a wind sock at home, using a plastic bottle and old plastic bags, go to our Wind Sock NUSTEM at home activity.
This afternoon Year 4 became palaeontologists, exploring fossils and using pollen samples to investigate how the earth’s climate has changed over millions of years . For more information and activities to try at home, click here.
After school it was the turn of the Key Stage 2 families to become wind turbine engineers. For more information about wind turbines and some activities to try at home, click here.
After school, Key Stage 1 families became wind turbine engineers, designing the blades for wind turbines and testing them to see which shape would turn the turbine the quickest. Click here for more information and activities.
