Year 5 and Year 6 pupils had prepared a series of scientific challenges for their nursery school classmates. Our idea was to spark curiosity, encourage teamwork and show that science can be&#8230; magical!<\/p><p>Each nursery school group had to visit all the workshops and try to solve a puzzle:<\/p><ul><li>The submarine: how can you bring a submerged bottle back to the surface?<\/li><li>The whirlpool: how can you bring a small tomato and a nut back to the surface?<\/li><li>It floats! : how can you transform modelling clay so that it floats on water?<\/li><li>The siphon: how can you transfer water from a full container to an empty one without touching it?<\/li><li>The magic trick: how does the magician manage to move the magic ball?<\/li><\/ul><p>The Year 5 and 6 pupils had prepared the experiments carefully: equipment ready, clear explanations, and above all a lot of patience to help the younger children. The intrigued nursery school pupils manipulated, tested, sometimes failed&#8230; but always started again with enthusiasm.<\/p><p>By the end of the morning, there were smiles all round: the little ones proud to have risen to the challenges, the older ones happy to have passed on their knowledge. This project showed that science can be shared, explained and experienced together, regardless of age.<\/p><p>Scientists in nursery classes and\u00a0 CM1-CM2<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8b5a363 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8b5a363\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3125359\" data-id=\"3125359\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f380a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1f380a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-sous-marin.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"le sous marin\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-sous-marin-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-sous-marin-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-sous-marin-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-sous-marin-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-sous-marin-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-sous-marin.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-sous-marin-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-82b8864\" data-id=\"82b8864\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd3e4cc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dd3e4cc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-siphon.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"le siphon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-siphon-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-siphon-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-siphon-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-siphon-100x75.jpg 100w, https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-siphon-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-siphon.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/le-siphon-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1dc580b\" data-id=\"1dc580b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fba9587 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fba9587\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/lfih.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ca-flotte-2.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"\u00e7a flotte !
