Enjoy Science Lessons!

7th May 2020

Researchers in Ireland have created a new digital learning experience aimed at children who are being homeschooled due to measures aimed at curbing the spread of coronavirus.

The SFI Research Centre for Advanced Materials and BioEngineering Research (Amber),has adapted its NanoWow educational programme to teach children about science while they learn from home.

The new resource sees Amber scientists answer questions about growing human brains, what a mirror is made from, and futuristic clothes that could change your body temperature and charge a phone battery.

Primarily aimed at children between the age of 10 and 12, the educational videos are also suitable for younger children. The videos are presented by an Amber scientist or educator, and is tied in with resources for parents and teachers.

All materials are available for three weeks from initial broadcast at:
