An activity where children make and launch a small chemical rocket.

This term we take a look at keeping tadpoles, guinea pigs and other small mammals in schools and give few tips on teaching forces. We also reflect on a hundred years of the Association for Science Education.

This summer we get creative with some colour chemistry, learn how to raise caterpillars and butterflies, dissect some owl pellets and learn how to work safely with micro-organisms. There's also details of some free CPD from the Getting Practical programme and some of the more interesting calls to the helpline.

A guide to all our rocket making and launching resources.
