Paper Helicopters - Mathematics
This resource, aimed at primary level, is linked to the science Paper Helicopters resource. It uses the paper helicopter investigation to provide mathematical activity ideas looking at: shapes, lines and angles found in the helicopter template, perimeter and area, average drop time, ratio and problem solving. The...
Rainbow Spinner - Science
Aimed at primary level, this activity links to the topic of light and how the rainbow colours can be brought together to produce white light. Children make spinners and colour them in the colours of the rainbow. They then investigate how we see them when they spin. By spinning the disc quickly, the eye sees all the...
