Experts are urging schools to include fun activities like eating ice lollies, planting vegetables, and kneading bread in the curriculum to help students learn about science.
Four major science organisations believe these “essential experiences” will help reduce educational inequalities in subjects like science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). They argue that children with limited hands-on experiences are at a disadvantage when learning these subjects.
The Royal Society of Chemistry, the Institute of Physics, the Royal Society of Biology, and the Association for Science Education recommend that activities such as playing with shadows, digging in soil, and recycling should be part of the primary school curriculum for children aged 3 to 11. These experiences are seen as important for building a strong foundation in science.
Aylin Ozkan from the Royal Society of Chemistry highlighted the importance of using simple tools, like ice blocks, to teach concepts such as temperature. She explained that this approach is not only affordable but also helps build scientific confidence in children, regardless of their background.
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
