About

Have you ever wondered why some leaves change colour in Autumn while other leaves stay green? Or what happens to leaves after they fall off the tree? Come find out at Science Time: Autumn! 

Science Time gets little scientists involved in a fun and interactive learning experience. Each session starts with a question. Children and their caregivers work together to investigate, discover, and then share their findings. Hands-on experiments, activities and crafts help children to explore the topic further. 

The session finishes with a demonstration and an activity sheet so you can continue your STEM journey at home.
