Experiments, the kits and games

Ages 4-5

In the Brilliant Bodies unit, Fizzy and Dizzy help children to learn to name different parts of their bodies, understand that everybody's body is different and special and that bodies get better at doing some things with practice.

Ages 7-9

In the Super Athletes unit, the children investigate body facts and fictions and carry out a science investigation to find out whether people with the longest legs jump the farthest. They use what they have learned to design their own Super Athlete.

Ages 5-7

In the Stupendous Steppers unit, Fizzy asks the children to help her to beat Dizzy in a race. They investigate which kind of step is fastest, how to improve their reaction times and use pedometers to determine how active they are.

Ages 9-11

In the Heart Beaters unit, the children use stethoscopes, pedometers and timers to investigate how their hearts work and how their bodies recover after exercise. They use what they learn about the effect exercise has on their pulse rate to solve problems.
