  • Description:

    Introduction to the Sciences and Engineering using easy to obtain materials like household items, supermarket supplies and recycled materials. A course to teach grandparents to harness the enthusiasm and curiosity of primary age children, to create a lasting interest in science and fill your times together with laughter and learning. Play together and discover what fun science can be! I have taught Science to students of all ages in both South Africa and the UK, with a particular focus on primary school science. At primary level, Science is not treated as a core subject in the same way as Maths and English are, so lessons are often skipped to make room in the curriculum. In my opinion, this is the age to help children develop an interest in Science and the world around them as they are at their most curious. Basic materials required will be advised well in advance.
