Today’s shows:
11.00am Sun, Sea and Science
It’s Summer – the sun is shining, the days are long, schools out and we can go play at the beach! Take a science-y look at a trip to the sunny seaside and investigate why we use sunscreen, how salty the sea is, and how to make the best sandcastle!
2.30pm All Charged Up
Opposites attract – that’s true even at the tiniest level. Find out how that important in creating that little spark when you touch a metal object, and what that’s got to do with lightening.
Make something a little different with our activities today!
12.30pm See the Cogs Turning
Think about what a machine is, what forces are involved and what powers it and use all that information to make a simple machine from just a few bit of cardboard and some metal pins.
