May the 4th – Star Wars Day – is both a clever play on words, and an excellent opportunity to add an extra-exciting twist to lessons. To help you make the most of this day, we’ve compiled some ideas for fun science-themed activities.
Yoda craft for Early Years
- Combine maths and art with this Yoda shape craft. Keep your pupils engaged as they discuss colours, shapes and characters while creating their own Yoda. Read the full article here.
Lightsaber glow slime
- Treat your pupils to a slimy, sensory experience with this glow-in-the-dark slime from Little bins for little hands. Read the full instructions here.
Create your own galaxy
- Pupils can have fun creating their own galaxy through coding! (An added benefit: this program can be downloaded and used offline.) https://www.code.org/starwars
Games, activities and crafts at NASA Space place
