Science activities for families - survey needs your feedback

[MarthaHenson]

Hi all,

I'm working on a project for a science organisation which needs some feedback from parents. Would be very grateful if you could take 10-15 minutes to fill out this survey and give your feedback on a pilot video.

Many thanks in advance!

done. v. interesting video and may try this out at home!

Sounds like a fantastic idea.

I thought it was great. I tried to share it on Facebook but I wasn't sure I could link to the survey after I'd completed it myself?

Done but there was a strong implication that parents don't do this sort of thing at home, I am a science teacher, we do a lot of this...

[MarthaHenson]

Thanks all for filling it in, very useful answers and feedback that will help develop the full series of videos.

@newtoedf I'm not sure what the link at the end of the survey is but you can share the link in the original post above, thanks!

Righto - I've completed it as well; although I suspect I might not be your target audience being a curator at the Science Museum ....

[Goodliz]

Done and I am going to do the experiments on the video with my sons. Thank you for the ideas,

[Crokes]

Done. Most interesting survey I've completed and very useful to. Thanks!

[LuisaS]

Done. But like some of the previous posters, I should also declare a science PhD and therefore probably not your target audience.

Also, the activity seemed easy enough to do with one child but I'm not sure how well it would work with a group of 5+ children.

Etta I went into my son's nursery last year and did a variation of that experiment with the children, they were in groups of 5/6 we used paper plates with bicarbonate on and pots of liquids with droppers to add to the plates. It works well.

Hi all,

All your responses were very helpful in developing the project, which was about creating a series of videos of science activities for families. Quite a few people asked to be notified when it was properly live, so just wanted to let you know that the series has now been launched on the Royal Institution's channel

You can also find out more on the Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Ri.ExpeRimental?fref=ts.

Thanks again for your help!
