This month we're turning up the heat with one of our newest STEM adventures... Handle with Heat!
From colour-changing science to glowing discoveries, this workshop is packed with those magical "How did that happen?!" moments that inspire children to think, question and explore.
Have a read, pick up a quick STEM tip and see what's new at Beyond the Beanstalk!
Check your inbox (or read it online) and let us know—what science topic would your children love us to explore next?
Some science experiments make children think. Others make them stop in their tracks and say..."Whoa... how did that happen?" Handle with Heat is packed with those unforgettable moments. Children explore colour-changing materials, glowing...
Can you warm an ice cube... without touching it? Ask children to predict what will happen if an ice cube is placed on different materials such as metal, wood and plastic. Which surface melts the ice the fastest? This simple experiment introduces children to heat transfer and encourages observation,....

Can you really use a piece of fruit as a battery?The answer is yes!
Citrus fruits, like lemons, contain acids that can help create a small electrical current when combined with two different metals. It's not enough to power your home—but it is enough to demonstrate one of the fascinating ways electricity works! It's a fun reminder that science is all around us, even in the fruit bowl.
This is just one of the hands-on experiments children explore in our Growley & the Crazy Clocks workshop, where they investigate electricity, circuits, energy and the science that keeps our world ticking.
If you could power one tiny thing with a lemon battery, what would you choose? Let us know in the comments! 🍋⚡
At Beyond the Beanstalk, we believe the best learning starts with a question.
