Countdown to Primary Science Week 2018
Primary Science Week
14-18 May 2018 (Term 2, Week 3)
Primary Science Week is an opportunity for all New Zealand primary schools to engage in science teaching and learning.
2018's national theme is "Eco-Champions : Science in Action" but this is a terrific opportunity to get Science into the classroom whether you use the national theme or not! A key goal of the week is to enhance science teaching in schools and support primary school teachers.

Kitchen Science experiments just for the fun of it!
– It’s National Science Week after all!
Classroom Activities |
| Community Evening |
Use a BP Challenge as a Science Challenge for parents and children to do together. Entry- 1 parent and 1 child. Make up groups of 4 and hold eg in school hall one evening. Fabulous fun! |
| Staffroom fun |
Morning Tea or Friday Drinks- try an experiment from Kitchen Science Experiments, or eg Steve Spangler together. Great way to get staff feeling confident doing Science and taking things back to the classroom |
