Indoor and outdoor practical science activities for one child

Science for One consists of activity sheets to support teachers with providing practical science lessons while children are sitting separately from each other. They could also be used by parents and carers working with children at home.

Each activity sheet is based around one easy to obtain resource. Activities explore different science topics and suggestions are given for three age ranges (4-7, 7-9 and 9-11 years). Each activity includes links to interesting follow-up ideas. The activities can also be done outside.
