Term 1: Autumn 23: Slime - Instructions here

Hello, I am Mrs Elborn. I am new to Red Oaks and I teach in year 2. I am really excited to be leading science in the school; I love investigating and carrying out experiments as I learn more and more about the amazing world around me.
Here is the term 1 science challenge, one that I thought looks like lots of fun!
Please send your photos and videos to me at elbornn@redoaks.org.uk, I can’t wait to see them!
