What we offer:
Available Online Lessons:
Drawing for Learning: Gain drawing confidence (no matter your current ability) while learning about photosynthesis and elastic energy… Build a balloon car and discover the learning potential of drawing!
Music and Maths: Develop multiple calculation strategies while having fun with counting beats. Make music, use bottle tops to promote ‘grouping’ and play spatial reasoning games (Wheatley’s quick draw and the Pentomino challenge).
Light-boxes: Construct a light-box while learning about measurement and build shadow puppets to gain an understanding of the properties of light. Play and discover in this exciting cross-curricular lesson!
Exploring colour: Let’s play with water-colour paint while developing our observational skills. Mix paint and describe tonal variations while learning about the properties of water… Art and Science experiments all in one.
Play-dough: Make play-dough while learning about plants! Describe the smells and process to develop your vocabulary, revise photosynthesis and build 3D and 2D shapes. Finally draw and build an imaginary island to gain an understanding of hight above sea level and ratio.
Art and Science for the Ocean
Let’s be creative while learning about the Ocean in this series of lessons specifically designed to inspire a love of the marine world.
Lesson 1 Plankton and photosynthesis – learn about microscopic organisms and the transformation of light energy while painting!
Lesson 2 An introduction to the Ocean food web – Watch zooplankton through a microscope and check out the dramatic sardine run while developing your observational skills with coloured pencils.
Lesson 3 How do Fish Breathe? Watch a fish dissection and build fish gills using play dough!
Each workshop consists of a PowerPoint presentation, practical skills-based learning and integration strategies.
