The Awesomely Amazing Science Club

We set up this science club to make it super easy for volunteers to run weekly science clubs, but the experiments are ideally suited for use at home too.

Aimed at children aged 6 to 12, these activities aren't linked to the National Curriculum. Instead, the experiments are designed to capture children’s imagination and to spark a love of hands-on practical science, using simple household materials.
