Science Experiments At Home
Below are some fantastic ideas for science experiments that can be conducted at home!
Light
This term we are learning about light. Children have already identified a variety of light sources and understand that darkness is the absence of light.
Lesson 2: Sun Safety.
Go through the lesson presentation, discuss why it is necessary to protect ourselves form the sun.
