Sciences 5 Minutes of Science   5 Minutes of Science     Subject Chemistry and Physics Level Primary school Language English Type Experiments   We will present a series of experiments for primary school science that are simple and easy to execute. We have developed a workshop based on these, which aims to encourage primary school teachers not to be afraid of carrying out experiments in front of pupils and to give them confidence and experience in doing so. We have focused on experiments with a short preparation time and developed kits which contain readily-available items. Our approach enhances children's interest in science and doing experiments, shows that science can be entertaining and encourages children to learn physics and chemistry by "playing around" with fun experiments.     Contact details   Name Christian Zöpfl Romana Fiala Email c.zoepfl@htl-braunau.at romana.fiala@aol.com       Last update: 17 July 2007 More Science Teaching Ideas  •  Four Seasons (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Science_on_Stage/SEMUSZ9RR1F_0.html)  •  Science Menu (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Science_on_Stage/SEMBTJEVL2F_0.html)  •  Magic Eye (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Science_on_Stage/SEMIBKEVL2F_0.html)  •  Balloons (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Science_on_Stage/SEMLMT7OY2F_0.html)  •  American Football (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Science_on_Stage/SEM3V38OY2F_0.html)  •  SOS2 Projects from the UK Delegation (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Science_on_Stage/SEMGJH8OY2F_0.html)  •  PSEP (http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Science_on_Stage/SEMJYT8OY2F_0.html) Download  •  5 Minutes of Science PPT (http://esamultimedia.esa.int/docs/scienceonstage/AU_Zopfl_5_minutes_ science.ppt)
