CEd’s library of themed experiments and activities continues to expand. There are now more than 70 free ideas available on the CEd website and on Shopify (https://bit.ly/3IfdF1U). Originally developed in 2020 to keep young scientists engaged when schools were closed due to COVID-19 the experiments continue to make learning fun and to inspire young minds.   As before young CEd team members Morgan and Tilly tried, tested and demonstrated the experiments which investigate scientific principles including diffusion, dissolving and osmosis. All the materials needed to making giant gummy bears, green eggs (below) and window clings (above) are easy to […]

Chilled Education is always happy to respond to requests and suggestions so the team was delighted to launch its resources to support science clubs during this year’s British Science Week.   A specially tailored free to download pack of ideas explores five themes with activities listed online and free to download from the CEd website and Shopify. The majority use easy-to-access items, with instructions and science principles included for each experiment.    Short experiments are also included to be set up at the end of the session ready to pick up in the next one.   As CEd’s Charlotte Patrick explains: […]

Young scientists at Northants’ Blisworth Community Primary School enthusiastically accepted the Glo Germ hand washing challenge when Charlotte visited in March.

Charlotte also shared the science behind the experiment and has already been invited back to share more practical and fun science ideas.   April 2024
