This week has been British Science Week at school. The theme this year has been ‘Change and Adapt’ and British Science Week is 30 years old this year! In classes, children have been encouraged to bring something in from home which they think is linked to science – something a scientist might use or something that shows science in action such as in cooking, eating, breathing, driving, playing, the fabric we wear, the brush and paste we use, shampoo, talc or the oil we apply. Everything is the consequence of advancement in science and how things have changed and adapted.
Rowan brought in a balloon and some breadcrumbs to demonstrate the effects of static electricity. Wow! When I asked him if it was magic, he said no, it’s science!
