Whizz Pop Bang, “the awesome science magazine for kids<\/a>” have kindly offered use of their resources in our Women Like Me<\/a> activities. They’re not just a magazine; they create hands-on science lessons too. Here’s what Rachael, the Whizz Pop Bang’s head of communications, had to tell us:<\/p>\n

What is Whizz Pop Bang?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whizz Pop Bang is an award-winning, 36-page children\u2019s magazine jam-packed with science fun! Printed on lovely, thick, uncoated paper (so that kids can colour, scribble and record their science results in it), it\u2019s a top-quality magazine that\u2019s built to last. Each month\u2019s issue focuses on a new and interesting subject, with broad-ranging content to appeal to all budding scientists aged between six and twelve. Have a flick through a\u00a0virtual copy of Whizz Pop Bang here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Each month\u2019s magazine is written by expert science writers, such as Isabel Thomas, author of more than 100 children\u2019s science books. Each magazine is full of facts, puzzles, news and simple hands-on experiments that can easily be done at home or in school, giving parents, teachers and kids the tools to become scientists in their kitchens and classrooms!<\/p>\n

We believe that kids make the best scientists. WHY? Because they\u2019re inquisitive, keen to learn and have open minds that just love asking “Why…?”!<\/p>\n

New teaching resources for schools
\n<\/em><\/strong>One of our key aims for Whizz Pop Bang is to help as many children as possible to enjoy\u00a0the awesome world of science.\u00a0So we’ve created a growing library of top-quality\u00a0downloadable Whizz Pop Bang lesson plans and reading resources for schools to make science fun and engaging for children and teachers alike.<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are the resources for schools?<\/strong>
\nOur Whizz Pop Bang school resources have been written by primary teachers in conjunction with science experts and they all link to the national curriculum…<\/p>\n
