About

Have you ever wondered why some objects cast a shadow and others don’t? Or why some objects reflect light? Would you like to explore how to create different coloured lights? Come find out about light at Science Time: Light.

Science Time involves little scientists in a fun and interactive learning experience. Children will solve problems and explore their exciting world. 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 explore the topic further. The session finishes with a demonstration and an activity sheet so you can continue your STEM journey at home.
