Kiddi Caru Bedford: British Science Week

Kiddi Caru in Bedford were extremely busy getting involved with the Innovate and Investigate programme for British Science Week last week!

The children took advantage of the beautiful sunshine and used this as an opportunity to explore bubbles, how they are formed and the impact that they can have on them. The children enjoyed mixing up the bubbly water and watching the different sized bubbles form. They have also explored ‘goop’, and the little ones were fascinated by how the material reacts to the warm palm of the hand, scooping up a solid mixture, to have it melt in front of their eyes!

The children also made their own ‘playdough’ with the focus being on how materials can change when other materials are added, they enjoyed measuring out the flour and salt and were able to identify the state using vocabulary such as ‘sticky’, ‘tough’, and ‘hard.
