Today is the start to British Science Week. Its runs from the 11th to the 20th of March.
During this week we will be doing a few little science activities as well as running some competitions.
As its the first day I would like to invite you all to our first little competition. I want you to all take Lily and I to the Moon and build us a ROCKET!
It can be made out of whatever you like, as big as you like and as creative as you like. On the 20th of March one Rocket Scientist will win a Easter Egg to enjoy for Easter!

For a little inspiration here is the rocket we made yesterday.
We Used - Toilet Rolls, Paint, Tape, Red Tissue Paper, Empty Cake Packets, Bottle tops.
First I let Lily paint the toilet rolls.
After they had dried I then taped all 3 toilet rolls together.
I then stuck down the empty cake packets and bottle tops, to make windows. Lily helped with the sticking by pressing down the tape.
We used the red paper for the fire coming out the bottom of the rocket and taped this inside.
Figuring out how to make the pointy top was the trickiest bit. In the end I cut a piece of paper into a Tear shape and let Lily decorate it with crayons and silver stickers. I then rolled it up and stuck it to the top.
This was our finished result. Not bad for Lily's first rocket, although I helped a lot. Lily loved her rocket and she was zooming it around the room going Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
We can't wait to see your rockets!
Aww how cute! We are doing science week at my nursery (I'm the kitchen manager) I am planning to go into the base rooms to do some activities. I'll be doing 'hotter or colder' different temp foods, probe for temp then they have to guess if the next will be hotter or colder. I did it a few weeks ago with a small group of preschoolers and they loved touching it all. I will also do a floating/sinking activity with foods. Good luck to all who enter your competition!

ReplyDeleteWe did a Float and Sink activity with her toys today :D The different temperatures is a good idea. :D
DeleteWhat a lovely idea! Reminds me of my youth watching Blue Peter and longing for mum to finish with the Fairy Liquid bottle
ReplyDeleteYeah we didn't have a washing up liquid bottle finished in time. lol
