So excited to finally start compiling our “Investigating Big Questions” Discovery Bags! They are bursting with scientific equipment and resources to help you and your child(ren) ‘think like a scholar’.
Use the diffraction glasses to explore ‘why is the sky blue?’ and read up on some amazing facts about why Earth is the ‘perfect planet’ for life. Conduct an experiment with the pipette and investigate ‘why do we need water?’, using different disciplines to think deeper about whether the famous flood in the story of Noah’s Ark really happened.
And you might have already seen the anemometer in use here on our website! We’ve been asking ‘could the weather be a sign from God?’ and looking at how science and religion both make sense of the weather. These bags are perfect for investigating the Big Questions that many curious children want to know more about.
Get in touch to find out how you can get your hands on some for your children – at home or in your out of school club! These activities are suitable for primary school students (age 7-11) and explore questions where science and belief interact.
