Read about Marie Curie and create edible models of elements

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The next scientist in my influential women scientist series is the wonderful Marie Curie. Being a woman in the 1800s wasn't easy and Marie had to overcome many hurdles before even starting her career in science. Marie Curie was the first women to win a Nobel Prize and the first person to win one in two fields ( Chemistry and Physics ).

One of our most popular posts is this great collection of Fairy Tale science activities so when the lovely Mrs Mactivity asked if we'd like her to create some resources to sit alongside our Fairy Tale STEM challenges we said YES!

These Fairy Tale STEM activities are great for elementary or primary school age children and a fantastic introduction to learning how to set up investigations correctly to start working scientifically. Most of all they are just good old fashioned science fun! All are very hands-on and great for keeping kids engaged.

Next time you design a raft for the Three Billy Goat's Gruff, grow a bean for Jack, make a candy house for the Hansel and Gretel or a bridge for The Gingerbread Man don't forget to use these too!

Fairy Tale STEM Challenges

If you try any we'd love you to share photos on social media and tag @sciencesparks. I think my favourite is the candy house for Hansel and Gretel, that one always keeps my children busy for hours!

To celebrate Roald Dahl Day on the 13th September, I've put together a fun collection of Roald Dahl science activity ideas.

My 8 year is currently devouring Roald Dahl books and I remember spending many happy hours reading them as a child so this collection has been so much fun to put together. It's not quite complete and I will be adding to it over the next few weeks so do pop back soon.

We've also got some easy Roald Dahl themed fine motor control activity ideas suitable for younger children.

If you like the idea of edible experiments for kids, you'll love my new book Snackable Science!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Activities

Chocolate covered strawberries and changes of state

Learn about changes of state by melting chocolate and then using it to cover strawberries. You could investigate whether the chocolate becomes solid again faster in or out of a fridge.

Extension ideas - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Science

Try adding a little golden syrup to the chocolate, does this affect the texture and taste?

Photo thanks to The Crazy Kitchen

Making Giant Sweets

Investigate how to make your sweets bigger, by leaving them cold and warm water for a couple of hours. What happens? Our gummy bear doubled in size!
Extension Ideas
Try different types of sweets and compare the changes.

Skittles Experiment

Place some coloured sweets in water and watch as the colour leaves the sweets. Try using warm water to see if the change happens faster.

More Skittle Ideas
Can you see the floating 'S' on the water? This should separate from the skittle as the outer coating of the skittle starts to break down. Can you find any other sweets this works with? How about M&Ms?

Shrinking Crisp Packets!!!

Do you remember the part of the story where Mike TV shrinks himself? Why not try this fun crisp packet shrinking activity from The Mad House, or can you dehydrate some grapes to make raisins?

If you don't fancy shrinking crisp packets we've used shrinky art sheets before to make key rings and they worked really well.

Willy Wonka Playdough

I love, love, love this Willy Wonka inspired play dough from The Imagination Tree.

Try smelling it, mixing the colours or use forces to squash, push and pull it. A fun idea is to make a shape using the least number of movements you can.

Make Your Own Great Glass Elevator

Can your design a pulley system to lift a homemade elevator?

What materials could you use to make your elevator see through?

Georges Marvellous Medicine Experiments - Roald Dahl Science Experiments

Making potions

Make a delicious ( or disgusting ) smelling potion using herbs and flowers from the garden.

Smelling Jars

Add some scents to small jars and see if children can guess the smell. We used lemon juice, lime juice, vanilla essence and peppermint essence.

The Enormous Crocodile Activities

Camouflage

The Enormous Crocodile camouflages himself throughout the story so the children don't spot him. Can you experiment with camouflage? Try leaving different coloured wool threads in the garden, which are the hardest to find?

Can you camouflage an object so it's hard for a friend to find.

The Enormous Crocodile See Saw

The Enormous Crocodile pretends to be a see saw in part of the story, can you build a see saw from recycled materials?

Danny the Champion of the World Activities

Can you design a pheasant catching device? Would you entice the pheasants into a box using a certain smell or food or would you make a friendly trap?

James and the Giant Peach Activities

Can you make a peach fly using helium filled balloons, or can you make a parachute for a peach?

Make a Wormery

Learn about earthworms by making your own wormery.

The Twits Activities

Mr Twit has a dirty beard with bits of food clinging to it. Discover what happens when food decays in this rotting apple investigation.

Make wormy spaghetti

Make some wormy spaghetti like Mrs Twit did for Mr Twit. To make this simply cook spaghetti in water and a bit of food colouring and add some pretend worms and a little vegetable oil for a fun sensory activity.

How to make worms from juice

Teach Beside Me makes some fantastic worms from juice!

Make glue and an upside down house

Muggle Wump turns The Twits house upside down using Hug-Tight Sticky Glue. Can you investigate which sticky substance makes the best glue to turn a dolls house upside down? We tried blu-tack, glu-dots and sellotape.

You can also make glue from milk! Try investigating how long this will hold a piece of dolls furniture upside down for.

The BFG Activities

Dream Jars

The BFG blows dreams from bottles into children's rooms, I imagine these bottles to be filled with a sparkly, glittery potion, maybe a bit like this lava lamp? What do you think?

Could you make a nightmare version using black or dark green food colouring?

How tall is the BFG?

Sophie fits inside the BFG's shirt pocket, if she is the size of an average 8 year old, how tall ( roughly ) do you think the BFG is?

Did you know human arm span is often equal to height. You can test yours with this simple ape index activity. Do you think the BFG would have a similar ape index to humans?

Matilda Activities

Matilda reads a lot of books but did you know you can stack books on eggshells without them breaking?

Do you remember the part where Miss Trunchbull swings Amanda Thripp around be her pigtails? Can you fill up a bucket of water and swing it around in a circle over your head without the water spilling?

The reason this works is down to centripetal force. If the rate of rotation is high enough that the centripetal force is at least as great as gravity the water won't spill out of the bucket.

Photo coming soon!

More Roald Dahl Science Activities

This is actually not a book I have read, but I noticed Rainy Day Mum has some lovely Minpin inspired post on her site.

Anna at The Imagination Tree has a great post about her Willy Wonka inspired birthday party.

If you need a costume for World Book Day, how about this Fantastic Mr Fox mask from Red Ted Art.

Which is your favourite Roald Dahl book?

Can you think of any more Roald Dahl science experiments for us?

With the recent outbreak and lots of uncertainty and worry I have put together a list of fun things to do indoors with your children. I have had the pleasure of speaking to many of you all over the world who are feeling isolated and afraid right now. With many in isolation it can be very difficult to keep the children busy and happy, spending so many more hours indoors that they would usually. I know not all countries are on complete lock down but a few are. I can't even begin to imagine how that must feel right now.

I have made a list of 140 activities that are simple and fun for you to enjoy together.

Children have wonderful imaginations and are naturally creative. During this time remember to let them also create their own fun. Independent play is important too. It isn't possible to keep them entertained with 100% attention from you all day every day and that is ok.

Your children may wish to do something different to what you have planned and again that is ok. Usually children will come up with ideas that are much better than what we planned or ideas that extend the activity.

Where you can link to their interests, it will hold their attention for longer. Adapt where necessary and only do activities that are suitable for the children in your care.

Remember we are all in this together. Huge virtual hugs to you all at this very, very strange time indeed. Take care, stay safe.

DRAW A CHARACTER FROM YOUR FAVOURITE BOOK

We did this activity recently. It's another lovely way to foster a love of learning in children. No matter what their age they can look at the pictures in the book and using a pen/crayon to sketch and draw their favourite character.

We have made a few of these using recycled materials over the last few years here are a couple of ideas for inspiration:

CAR DRAWING ON A LARGE SCALE

Pop down a big sheet of paper (turn over wrapping paper to use the blank side, parcel paper, wall paper off cut rolls all work well). Attach a pen to the back of a toy car using tape and as you push the car along the pen will leave a colour trail. Take care on the pens you use and which surface you do this on. You may wish to sellotape your paper down to secure it in place. Messy Little Monster did a great activity showcasing this in action.

BUILD A DEN USING BLANKETS

Something so simple but it creates so much fun! I used to play for hours in dens as a child and my own children love them too! I love this den made using sofa cushions by Family Days Tried and Tested. They have done so many epic dens you can see them all here - Family Days Den Building Ideas.

Squirt water based paint into containers. I use the small yoghurt containers that I've washed out as I can throw them away afterwards. You can pop a popsicle stick inside if you wish too. This is great for the children who don'y enjoy getting their hands dirty as they have the option of holding the stick rather than touching the ice blocks directly. You can also make the paint blocks by using food colouring, just add a drop to the water and mix. Pop them in the freezer for a few hours and then they will be good to go.

Lay out a blanket and enjoy eating your lunch together as you would outdoors on a day out but indoors instead!

PLAY WITH BUBBLES AND WARM WATER IN THE SINK

Warm water and bubbles, can't go wrong here! If you have some plastic plates/cutlery you could look at doing a fun washing up activity too. You could also look at using an under the bed storage container to do this activity at a table/on the floor. I love the washing up station that Beckys Treasure Baskets made.

FOLLOW A SIMPLE DRAWING CHALLENGE ONLINE

Pop a search into google of something you would like to draw. There are lots of fabulous online tutorials that will give you guidance on how to draw pretty much anything!

CREATE YOUR OWN BUBBLES/BUBBLE WANDS

Our super simple recipe using items you will have at home will create some good bubbles if you are out of mixture at home. If you are feeling brave you could even look at making some super sized bubbles using a hoola hoop.

Gather together for a chat and a warm drink of whatever you fancy (squash/water/milk too). The children will enjoy pouring out the drink and serving. If you are looking to do a themed tea party do head over to Family Days Tried and Tested as they are always doing fun themed tea parties, their latest ones being - The Tiger who came to Tea and Spiderman.

When the coronavirus pandemic quarantine period began in Spring/Summer 2020, I realised that lots of people were going to find themselves at home with their children for several weeks/months looking for things to do. So I decided to post a draw-along video every Tuesday and Thursday that parents could watch with their kids and, hopefully, make some nice pictures. They have proved very popular, garnering millions of views across the world. On 21 May 2020 we broke the Guinness World Record for the largest online art lesson when 45,611 households drew a whale with me. From September 2020 lockdown gradually began to ease and kids started going back to school, so I decided to move the #DrawWithRob video slot to Saturdays at 10am BST/GMT so that kids can join in with my Saturday Art Club. And then in August 2021 as life returned to (something like) normal, the videos began to be released slightly more sporadically. But I'm still going! Keep an eye on my social feeds or sign up to my newsletter here to find out when the next video will be released.

Here are all of the videos (scroll down the page). Feel free to watch and share them with anybody and everybody. I'd love to see the results, so please send me your pictures on social media using the hashtag #DrawWithRob. I am @RobBiddulph on Twitter, @rbiddulph on Instagram and robbiddulphauthor on Facebook.
Oh, and please subscribe to my YouTube channel too.

I'm delighted to say that DRAW WITH ROB is now an incredible activity book series (every page features perforated edges so you can easily tear out and display your art). The first book is a Sunday Times number one bestseller, the winner of the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award 2020 and was shortlisted for Children's Illustrated/Non-fiction Book of The Year at the British Book Awards 2021. The second book, Draw With Rob at Christmas, is also a bestseller and was the WHSmith Book of the Month for November 2020. The third book, Draw With Rob: Build A Story, the fourth book, Draw With Rob: Monster Madness, the fifth book, Draw With Rob: Amazing Animals, and the sixth book, Draw With Rob at Halloween, are (guess what) bestsellers too! They are all available to order here.

Welcome to Met Éireann's Primary School Resources page, where parents, teachers and children will find resources that have been designed for use in primary schools in Ireland.

This section of our website aims to provide a basic introduction to the weather and weather-related topics for primary school students.

These resources are designed to encourage primary students to engage in active learning though an exploration and investigation of basic meteorological principles.

It is hoped that these resources will help students to practice a range of scientific skills and to develop open, critical and responsible attitudes to the wider environment.

Content and Structure

The resources are presented as fact sheets, quizzes, lesson plans and experiments. They are grouped together under the following categories.

Younger Primary Students: this section offers simple descriptions of common weather facts, e.g. sunshine, rainfall, wind, temperature.

Older Primary Students: this section provides more in-depth information on weather-related topics and introduces more specific skills such as reading weather charts and cloud recognition.

Lessons Plans: this section is designed primarily for use by teachers and the lesson plans can be adapted to suit either younger or older primary school students.

Content is free!

All documents are free and fully printable. You will need Adobe Acrobat to read the resources. You can download Adobe Reader here.

Detail from Paul Signac, The Terrace, Saint-Tropez, 1898. Image © National Gallery of Ireland Credit

While we're temporarily closed, our Education team are bringing some of their family workshops to you online so that you can get creative at home! This activity will engage your child's senses and is particularly suitable for those who seek out sensory input.

Inspired by Paul Signac's The Terrace, Saint Tropez, create your own spotty masterpiece. Have fun with food and make your own paint from fruit, vegetables and spices in this sensory activity.

Signac developed a style called Pointillism. He used lots of little dots of colour to make his painting. When you look from a distance the colours blend together and you can see the whole image.

Let's make our own Pointillist picture!

National Gallery of Ireland at Home

Sensory Spots

Play

Materials:

An apron or old shirt (things might get messy!)

Some fruit and vegetables - berries, avocado, spinach, beetroot are all good, and anything else you like!

Some spices - Turmeric, Smoked Paprika or whatever you find in your cupboard.

Cocoa powder

Paper

A pencil

Bowls or plates

Directions:

1. We're going to use our senses to make the paint. We can see it, touch it, smell it, even taste it!

2. Divide your ingredients into different bowls.

3. Use your hands to mash up the berries and the avocado. Cut up the beetroot, and tear up the spinach.

4. Use a little bit of water to turn the powder into paint.

5. Draw the outline of your picture with your pencil.

6. Take some of your new paint, and use your finger to make lots of dots: just like Paul Signac!

7. Then stand back to see the colours blend together.

You can share your creations with us on our online channels using #NationalGalleryIRLAtHome, or email them to us at [email protected] - we'd love to see how you get on!

Physical literacy is when kids have developed the skills, confidence, and love of movement to be physically active for life.

PHYSICAL LITERACY LIFE CYCLE

Physical literacy begins when parents encourage movement in infancy...

... develops throughout life...

... and can be a gift that is shared between generations.

THE BENEFITS OF BEING PHYSICALLY ACTIVE*

Increased self-esteem and happiness

Reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and diabetes

* Adapted from Aspen Institute Sport for All - Play for Life: A Playbook to Get Every Kid in the Game

How is physical literacy developed?

Kids develop physical literacy gradually through a variety of structured and unstructured activities. The nature of these activities changes as kids grow in age and ability.

0 - 3 years

Encourage early movement.

3 - 5 years

Expand on play, and keep it fun.

5 - 8 years

Increase the focus on fundamental movement skills.

8 - 12 years

Introduce more complex skills as kids are ready.

Testimonials

I have seen huge growth in all of my students. What is great is that all of my students are growing. My students who started testing at a 2nd grade level are now doing 4th grade skills, and my students who were testing at an 8th grade level are now doing algebra-level skills. We use IXL for 30 minutes every day and I can trust that every student is growing.

Rob has lots of online video tutorials to do including one of Sonic the Hedgehog!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When the coronavirus pandemic quarantine period began in Spring/Summer 2020, I realised that lots of people were going to find themselves at home with their children for several weeks/months looking for things to do. So I decided to post a draw-along video every Tuesday and Thursday that parents could watch with their kids and, hopefully, make some nice pictures. They have proved very popular, garnering millions of views across the world. On 21 May 2020 we broke the Guinness World Record for the largest online art lesson when 45,611 households drew a whale with me. From September 2020 lockdown gradually began to ease and kids started going back to school, so I decided to move the #DrawWithRob video slot to Saturdays at 10am BST/GMT so that kids can join in with my Saturday Art Club. And then in August 2021 as life returned to (something like) normal, the videos began to be released slightly more sporadically. But I'm still going! Keep an eye on my social feeds or sign up to my newsletter here to find out when the next video will be released.

Here are all of the videos (scroll down the page). Feel free to watch and share them with anybody and everybody. I'd love to see the results, so please send me your pictures on social media using the hashtag #DrawWithRob. I am @RobBiddulph on Twitter, @rbiddulph on Instagram and robbiddulphauthor on Facebook.
Oh, and please subscribe to my YouTube channel too.

I'm delighted to say that DRAW WITH ROB is now an incredible activity book series (every page features perforated edges so you can easily tear out and display your art). The first book is a Sunday Times number one bestseller, the winner of the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award 2020 and was shortlisted for Children's Illustrated/Non-fiction Book of The Year at the British Book Awards 2021. The second book, Draw With Rob at Christmas, is also a bestseller and was the WHSmith Book of the Month for November 2020. The third book, Draw With Rob: Build A Story, the fourth book, Draw With Rob: Monster Madness, the fifth book, Draw With Rob: Amazing Animals, and the sixth book, Draw With Rob at Halloween, are (guess what) bestsellers too! They are all available to order here.

Our forage into paper crafts continues (creating video tutorials for Origami is so liberating and so so so much easier to follow than step by step photos, I think.. don't you agree? We have TONS more Origami for Kids ideas for you to check out if you want to have fun with paper!). So today we have this adorable Origami Whale. He is quick. He is easy and he is fun!! I think he would also double up as a cheeky "Bailey" from Finding Dory craft, don't you think?! Enjoy.

Origami Whale materials:

1 square piece of paper

scissors (optional)

pen & contrasting paper (optional)

glue stick (optional)

If you find a printable worksheet with photo instructions useful, you can get a copy over on my teacher's pay teacher's store!

Diagonal
Take a square piece of paper and fold it across the diagonal. Open it up and fold it again in the opposite direction - you want that diagonal crease to go in both direction and be extra sharpe=.
Kite shape
Open up the square again. Take one edge and bring it to meet the diagonal central line. Repeat with the other side - you should now have a kite shape.
Body shape
Fold down the top point to meet the central line. Then fold in half.
The tail
Take the long thing tip and fold up at a right angle. Give it a sharp crease.

Open up the origami and fold into the opposit direction.

Finally, make a small cut at the top of the tail and fold down.

Draw your facial features and done!
