Bring Science, Design & Technology and Maths to life for Year 1 students with this hands-on, ready-to-teach, weather-themed project. Fully aligned to the National Curriculum, this all-encompassing, easy-to-implement project engages students in a series of interactive and practical activities to solve a real-world problem-solving challenge.

In Sunny Sandpit Exploration, Sam enjoys playing in his sandpit but the sun makes the sand too hot and the rain makes it too wet to play in! Students learn about sunlight, shadow, permeability, material properties, and shapes as they design a sandpit covering which will block sunlight and water, so that Sam can play in his sandpit whatever-the-weather!
