If you read my April BLC blog post about the value of linking science with languages, then you might be interested to hear about an online resource that provides details of five fun experiments, which you can easily carry out in the classroom.

Each experiment is explained in French, German and Spanish (as well as English) making them ready-to-use languages tasks with a scientific theme.

These experiments are perfect to get science lovers into languages and vice versa and would make a fun and entertaining activity for European Day of Languages.

The activities include a draughts trick experiment, a pulp friction experiment and a noisy coat hangers experiment. All are explained simply and with pictures so they can be used by a wide range of age groups.

• The activities are all available on the Planet Science website

Please let us know if you have had any success with linking the two subjects or if you have any science and language resources which you would like to share.
