SLADE GREEN: Next stop CSI for young science buffs

6:19pm Friday 19th March 2010

YOUNGSTERS at a Bexley primary school have been discovering science can be fun.

A host of activities was laid on at Peareswood Primary School in Peareswood Road, Slade Green, to challenge and fascinate the children.

Activities ranged from a mini planetarium, a science wizard, robot making, a forensics team and a bio-medic.

Children were able to explore the universe, make “rockets” from fizzy drinks and vitamin C tablets, do their own forensic investigations, make robots and waste-free lunch boxes and learn about viruses and bacteria.

The school’s science and ICT co-ordinator Debbie Donnelly said: “It was fantastic.

“We have had great responses back from the children and it has changed their view of science.”
