Fold a paper bridge
Can a single sheet hold a load over a ten-centimetre gap? Test a flat span, change the folds and compare how much each version holds.
Make a sound map
Mark sounds coming from near, far, left and right, then compare what two listeners noticed from the same quiet spot.
Curate a pocket museum
Turn a folded strip of paper into a tiny exhibition with three objects, visitor labels and a question that ties the collection together.
Follow a shadow trail
Trace the same shadow at different times of day and record how both its length and direction change around a fixed object.
Build a rhythm circle
Compose a four-beat pattern with claps, taps and rests, and let another person change one beat while the group keeps time.
Draw a map someone can use
Survey a familiar space, design a map with a working key and test whether a visitor can follow it to a chosen landmark.
Working with mixed ages
These age bands are starting points for a leading role. A younger sibling might load counters onto a bridge while an older child works out how to make the test fair. Let someone opt for drawing, observing or keeping time if the main activity does not appeal.
Each project lists what to gather and a second question for learners who want to continue. The weekly planner can hold several ideas for a group or family.
