To be the best that we can be.
DO Try This at Home Activity Pack
We hope that this activity pack will help spark conversations with your child about the world around them and stimulate their curiosity. This activity pack is part of a new campaign from the Institute of Physics – Limit Less. Now, more than ever, we need to support our children and young people to help fulfil their potential. Studying physics opens up a huge range of opportunities for further study and careers and it’s never too early to start having conversations with your child about their future.

IEC's IndusTRY AT HOME!
These activities and investigations are designed so that children aged 7+ can tackle them independently, with just a little help from an adult to get started. All activities have built-in questions to get children thinking, as well as challenges to take their learning further. Once they’ve tried the main activity, children might like to invite their parents to join them in these additional challenges, and younger children could also join in the fun with support from an adult or older sibling.
