Crystal Crafts - QM Winter Workshops

Join us for some science themed arts and crafts, and learn a little bit about crystals along the way!
You will need: paper (colours encouraged!), scissors, tape, and glue. Other decorative add-ons, e.g. glitter, optional!
For the crystal shape activity, you will need to download and print or copy out some templates from our activity booklet, available for free at: www2.physics.o...
The science content of this workshop is aimed at KS2+, although younger children will still enjoy the crafts. Children will need adult supervision whilst doing the crafts as they will need to use scissors.
You can find even more resources on crystals at www2.physics.o....
