What Easter holidays??!! All hands on deck to perfect our new science dough recipes for mini boffins next term!! #familyfriendly #business #sciencekids #scienceworkshops #practicalprimaries #slime #dough (at Bedale, North Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwZJuCrBiVO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1y0rig3kcn95
Dinosaur footprinys all ready for a set of EFYS paleontologist!! #practicalprimaries #dinosaurs #dinos (at Newton Aycliffe) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvyNW4EhFzk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dzcrp4ttxugx
Messing with mobius strips! learning how we can increase the life span of engine belts, making seemingly endless loops and learning how to fool the grown ups!! #practicalprimaries #homeed #homeeducation #enginering #sciencekids https://www.instagram.com/p/BvwXDQlBVty/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1p6lvxrnrmsk5
There's sping in the air so we're finding the perfect conditions for growing beans using homemade eco friendly paper plant pots, seeing how plants are pretty cool at telling which way up they've been planted and setting up a plant maze. We'll keep you updated with our results!! #practicalprimaries #homeed #homeeducation #spring #greenfingers (at Boroughbridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuGF-pThpEN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ewzsvk52say7
Excellent crystal slime making today at after school club... Sorry grown ups!!! #practicalprimaries #scienceworkshops #afterschool (at Bedale, North Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtjETmhBMzT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w5dxx35cz9n5
Pretty impressive crystal making by Year 5 at Pebblebrook Primary today. I wonder if year 6 will do better tomorrow??! #practicalprimaries #crewe #sciencekids #scienceworkshops #properties #materials #year5 #awesomeschool (at Pebble Brook Primary School) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtOTJdQhF8a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rdi2np88ifj2
Jumping Frogs: Do try this at home!
Possible swaps:
A hole punch. Any adult can use a sharp object such as scissors to create a hole small enough for a split pin - we recommend some blutack or playdough underneath the paper/card to protect fingers and surfaces when poking your pointy object though!
Completely Optional:
Anything to decorate your jumping mechanism. Get crafty.
Lets get started!
The LoveScience bit:
Today’s activity was all about Levers. Does using your crosses seem familiar? They’re like a pair of scissors! With a couple more scissors connected on the end. Scissors are a Double Lever - as you separate one end of the lever the other end will also open! When we connect more than one the opening motion brings all the pivot points (those are the pins in the middle of our levers) together to shrink the mechanism. The closing motion makes our mechanism grow or jump outwards!
Problem Solving and Extra Experimenting:
Mechanism a bit floppy? you may need thicker card to use it in the air. It should still work great on a clear table.
If your frog is getting caught on the paper/ card stips he may need to be smaller or thicker (you could glue him onto some card rather than redrawing!) - experiment!
Who says you can't have rainbows without putting up with a little rain??? Not the Bedale afterschool boffins and their prisms. #sciencekids #afterschool #practicalprimaries #rainisoverrated #bedale (at Bedale, North Yorkshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs_AjWkh0li/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dha0yevmvo4l
