Wider Curriculum Activities and Resources
Science Activities To Do At Home
Crest Awards are managed by the British Science Association. They have produced packs containing experiments that can be done at home with varying levels of adult support. They cover all areas of the science curriculum from Year 1 to Year 6. There are two packs available, "Sta Challenges" (5-7 years) and "SuperStar Challenges" (7-11 years).
