Science Experiments
Our Curriculum
Science
Science is crucial in primary school because it fosters natural curiosity, teaches essential critical thinking skills, and builds foundational knowledge about the world. It encourages children to ask questions, observe, experiment, and understand natural phenomena, setting the stage for future academic, personal, and career-related success.
Get ready to explore, experiment, and discover together! Our Science Experiment of the Month is a fun, hands-on activity designed for children and parents to enjoy side by side. Each month, we’ll dive into a simple experiment using everyday materials, sparking curiosity and encouraging questions about how the world works. It’s a great way to learn through play, spend quality time together, and inspire a love of science at home.
We know science is good in our schools when we see:
Students as Scientists
Curious questions
Included and involved
Engaged and excited
Noticing science in the everyday
Challenging and practical
Enthusiastic teachers
This month’s experiment is…
March - Bubble Worms!
Bubbles are fun all year round, but on a sunny day, they’re extra magical!
This month, we’re making Bubble Worms—long, wiggly chains of bubbles that are as fun to blow as they are to watch.
Using just a few simple items like washing up liquid, water, a drinks bottle, and a dishcloth, pupils can explore surface tension, air, and soap in action.
With a little help from an adult, children can create their very own Bubble Worm and see how tiny holes in the cloth work together to trap air and form a chain of bubbles. It’s messy, magical, and makes science super fun!
Parent tip: Encourage your child to experiment with different bubble mixtures or cloths and observe how their Bubble Worm changes. It’s a playful way to explore science together!
