About the Book

Science is Simple contains over 250 activities, spanning 39 child-pleasing science topics, covering all areas of the Key Stage 1 (KS1) National Curriculum for science. From magnets to bubbles, and insects to volcanoes, there are investigations to interest every child. Budding scientists will learn about objects in motion and feel the texture of their own homemade paper. Future astronauts will immerse themselves in making a rocket ship and watching it blast off! Children will be captivated as they learn about science and the role it plays in their everyday lives. Science is Simple includes: individual exploration ideas as well as group activities; suggestions for developing children's investigative skills; open-ended questions that encourage self-discovery, creative thinking and new ways of problem solving; photocopiable letters to parents that explain each concept that their child explores and suggests further activities to do at home. There are enough fun investigations to keep the children in your classroom learning all year long!
