Fun Science - 4 Practical Lessons

(0)
4 lessons, each stands alone, with learning outcomes for HSW and skills. Ideal for end of term, post exams, activity weeks. I have tried to keep the costs low, but these lessons have considerable scope eg borrowing instruments from the music department. Aimed at KS3 but very suitable for primary age (less focus on underlying science) and GCSE (more focus on same).
