Teacher

Discover science through experiments and activities you can try at home or at school. The activities:

  • use easy-to-find, everyday materials
  • explain science in everyday language
  • are tested, so you can be sure they work.

Some of our readers have said:

  • 'I love your emails and when I grow up I would like to be a scientist.' (student)
  • 'I organised it for my daughter to encourage a greater interest in science but find I tend to read the newsletters with great interest too.' (parent)
  • 'I think Science by Email is great - I use the activities in my science classes and I enjoy testing my knowledge with the quiz.  Keep it up!' (teacher)

There is also a Teachers' Lounge to help teachers apply ideas from Science by Email in a classroom setting.
