Preschool Science 1
Science incursion for preschools
Discover the science of toys; push/pull forces, light/sound & magnetism
Station-based science activities that kids love!
Kids aged 3 to 5 years old will have a blast as they investigate energy and use their senses to discover how the science activities and toys operate.
Designed to prepare early learners for the Physical Phenomena content strand for Early Stage 1 and Stage 1 in school. This workshop utilises stations based around push and pull forces, gravity and energy change. Great for budding little scientists!
