STEM activities for home from Farrat, to enjoy with your little engineers
In Lockdown 3.0 we understand that homeschooling is tough. If you’re looking for something a bit different, the team at Farrat are putting together a few STEM ideas for the next generation of engineers and scientists, and we’re probably looking to have a little fun too.
Here’s Louise Dixon from Marketing, showing you how to make pretty multicoloured flowers by learning about how flowers ‘drink’.

If you want to demonstrate transpiration in a more edible way, you can do this by getting a bunch of celery with leaves on. Once the celery has changed colour – as long as you used food colour and therefore it’s edible – this is a good way to get kids to eat veg, even if it’s weird coloured veg!
- We’d love to see photos of your project so please email us your photos.
- If you really enjoyed doing experiments with flowers, you can also do experiments with plants, especially as hopefully spring is just around the corner. To make a ‘plant maze’ you only need a shoe box, some extra card, a bean seed, and a pot with some soil in.Here’s how to make a plant maze.
