Big Science for Little Hands: Gadgets and Contraptions
Date Mar 29, 2022 | Time 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Our homes, day cares and preschools are full of cool gadgets and contraptions that when incorporated into play, encourage young children to explore scientific concepts. We can also combine everyday objects (tinkering) to create simple machines such as ramps, pulleys and levers. In this workshop we will explore a range of science activities using materials easily found in your setting. We will tease out the science concepts of each activity to help you build your confidence in exploring science with children.
