About

Have you ever wondered what makes a pattern? Or what kinds of different patterns you can create? Come and explore making patterns using different objects, shapes, and colours at Science Time: Patterns. 

Science Time gets little scientists involved in a fun and interactive learning experience. Children and their caregivers work together to ask questions, investigate, and share their discoveries. 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.
