About This Event

Come join us at the STEM Discovery Centre for our EXPERIMENTAL EYFS STEM sessions this autumn! EXPERIMENTAL EYFS STEM Autumn Term 2026 (21st September, 19th October & 16th November) Each session will involve activities that promote the scientific method through practical experiments. Autumn Term session dates - See agenda for activity description. 21st September: Stay Afloat! Explores the principles of buoyancy, density, and structural design. Participants are challenged to design and construct a small boat using limited materials that can float on water while safely carrying an “egg passenger". 19th October: Red Cabbage Rainbow This vibrant, hands-on activity encourages learners to explore the science of chemistry by investigating acids, bases, and pH levels using a natural indicator made from red cabbage. 16th November : Crafty Chemistry Using simple materials, to create beautiful branching dendrite structures, learning how science can produce intricate, natural designs while combining creativity with hands-on experimentation.
