**Please note** These sessions are designed for young people aged 9-14 years. The resources are aimed at STEM clubs and are to to be delivered in 6 x 1h sessions with the completion of a Crest Discovery award. I am currently exploring how these experiments can be delivered in a typical 90 minute guiding / scouting unit meeting.
This is a new resource for me and it will be a few weeks before I am able to run these sessions and offer an age appropriate session for rainbows, beavers and brownies. Thanks for your understanding, Laura
