STEM is the term used to group together the academic disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
Explore at Home Competition 2020
We want you to help tackle the problem and use Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) to propose solutions to this challenge. You might start by finding out about a particular species that you can find in your garden or local area. You could research its habitat, if it may be endangered as a species perhaps because of changes to habitat, new predators or competitors. You could use this information to propose ways to help save this species by creating a habitat for it. You could create an entire habitat or devise other ways to help sustain this species. You can choose any species for example hedgehogs, newts, bats, birds, bugs etc.

STEM LEARNING- Break a Flake Challenge
How strong is your Breakfast Cereal ?
The National Physics Laboratory ( NPL) Outreach group have come up with a new initiative to encourage you to try some measurement science at home
These are instructions to some experiments that can be carried out with simple equipment you are already likely to have at home.
The first measurement challenge is “Break a Flake”!

The Great Science Share
The national Great Science Share is an online event. This is a focus to celebrate the curiosity of children whether they are asking questions at home or in school. The website for GSS has resources that support parents with global themes and approaches to encourage children to ask questions that they can explore. Help your families be part of a national community focusing on science together by using this link
