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.
