Up, Up and Away

This series of Play School is all about how things move and travel through air. We focus on a range of objects and movement to explore how things go up, up and away. This series introduces up, up and away science with a mix of fun experiments, songs, art and craft that can all be repeated, or inspire other activities for children in their homes. The concept of movement plays a fundamental role in our lives. Playful experimentation with up, up and away movement can help young children develop their understanding of various concepts such as speed, size and force. Join the Play School presenters and toys as they test fly balloons, paper planes, a flying fox and even a homemade foot and air powered rocket. These activities provide a foundation for exploring important concepts in science, with sometimes unpredictable results and a lot of fun.
