“Time passes. Listen. Time passes.

Come closer now.

Only you can hear the houses sleeping in the streets in the slow deep salt and silent black, bandaged night.”

― Dylan Thomas, Under Milk Wood

 

Kicking off this blog with one of my favourite Dylan Thomas quotes from Under Milk Wood as it sparked something in me many years ago about the importance of stopping, noticing and listening – really listening. I’m not great at it, but I do try ????

Time is the theme of this year’s British Science Week and is one of our favourites yet as there are so many possibilities you can do with this theme! We’ve created a couple of short, easy, free activities that you can do at home or with groups of children at your science club or in the classroom, assemblies, outside, literally anywhere, that will help them consider time passing.

We’ve been working away behind the scenes to create these simple ready to go activities and have popped them on our socials and in this blog in the build-up to and during British Science Week 2024. If you are a member of My Science Club, you will find a full session with slides, educator’s guide and printables in your member only area as yet another member benefit!
