About

Have you ever wondered what plants need to help them to grow or how flowers get water from their roots to the tip of their leaves? Come find out at Science Time: Flower and Spring! 

Science Time gets little scientists involved in a fun and interactive learning experience. Each session starts with a question. Children and their caregivers work together to investigate, discover, and then share their findings. Hands-on experiments, activities and crafts help children to explore the topic further. The session finishes with a demonstration and an activity sheet so you can continue your STEM journey at home.
