• A weekly science experiment that could be done at home? Magnetic discovery bottle – Make a collection of small items that you know are magnetic: screws, paperclips, staples, metal ball bearings, picture hooks, coins, etc. Make a collection of non-magnetic items such as buttons, plastic sorting toys, beads, foam shapes, paper stars, chocolate coins, etc. Place a variety of both magnetic and non-magnetic items inside a plastic bottle with a wide opening, along with some sand or dry rice. Glue the lid on carefully. Provide the children with a magnetic wand or small magnet and ask them to slide it along the bottle. What happens? Why do some items stick to the wand whilst others don’t? Use the investigation to introduce the idea of magnets. • Guess the wild animals quiz – https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/puzzles/sir-david-attenboroughs-guess-the-wild-animal-quiz?collection=rainy-days
