‘Essential experiences’ recommended to improve science education include kneading dough and planting vegetables
Whether it’s an old-fashioned Fab, a Twister or a Calippo, not only does it taste nice, it teaches children vital scientific concepts such as heating, cooling and how temperature works, scientists say.
Aylin Ozkan, a teacher and education policy specialist at the Royal Society of Chemistry, explained the importance of eating lollies. “One of the recommendations for chemistry is that by the age of 11, all children should start to understand how temperature works and how heating and cooling can change things.
As well as making chemistry more accessible, physicists want light and music to be included in lesson time, and biologists are keen to see children growing vegetables at school as well as learning about recycling in their classes. From the Royal Society of Biology, the head of education policy, Lauren McLeod, said: “By celebrating green spaces, growing vegetables in the classroom and visiting the local garden centre, children can experience the life cycles of living things and be involved in making healthy and sustainable choices.
