Playground Science
A set of engaging, self-directed activities designed to enhance Science learning during playtimes.
Overview
Developed by the Primary Science Teaching Trust (PSTT) this resource is designed to weave scientific inquiry into the fabric of play. This initiative supports teachers in introducing fundamental scientific concepts in an engaging manner, promoting a blend of structured and exploratory learning.
The resource includes 5 cards featuring an activity, initial ideas and questions and 5 drawstring bags which can be used to include scientific equipment to support the activities. A guide for the teacher is also included. Encouraging independent learning, the activities within the kit inspire children to undertake their own scientific explorations. This approach not only strengthens their understanding of scientific methods but also enhances problem-solving skills, creativity, and confidence in tackling scientific questions.
Each kit caters to distinct age groups, targeting lower and upper primary students with age-appropriate scientific enquiries. For the younger group, explorations revolve around basic principles such as forces, motion, and light, while older students delve deeper into magnetism, observation skills, and light studies.
