Easter resources for secondary

Have you ever wanted to fire chocolate from a catapult, drop an egg from a great height or transport an egg in a self-built racer? Well now you can and it would all be in the name of science! 

These resources can be used to engage your students this Easter with all activities available to do both at home or at school. 

Do share your images and results with us to help inspire others @IETEducation.

Please note, these resources and experiments have been specifically designed to be carried out with adult supervision or direction as appropriate, and it is recommended that the instructions are followed in a safe manner. All resources and experiments are carried out at your own risk.
