This innovative series is designed to help teachers bring science topics to life through imaginative creative arts activities. Each pack includes 10 laminated, double-sided cards, printed in full color. Each card describes in detail activities that animate aspects of science topics using art, drama and dance. Ideal for whole class or small group sessions, the packs are an inspiration for busy teachers looking for new ways to approach project work at Key Stage 2 - and can also easily be used with Key Stage 1 classes.

Activities in this pack, focusing on aspects of art and science, explore the properties of a range of materials, including paper-modeling and testing for strength; clay - exploring what clay will do; wool - working from the fleece; spinning; making yarn; wood - printing with wood offcuts; and metal - demonstrating pewter casting.
