Robert Boyle Home Learning
As some of you may know, we are having a new Science classroom built and it will be called the ‘Boyle Building’ after the scientist, Robert Boyle.
This half term, in addition to the work I am sending out/the children are completing at school, I would like you to have a go at some of the activities in the document below all about Robert Boyle. I have included some very fun (and rather messy) experiments that I hope will bring awe and wonder and help the children understand a little more about why our new Science classroom is named after Robert Boyle. Please note, if your child is coming into school I will be doing all of the activities with them so you do not need to do them at home.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
