Marianne - Have you considered inviting the child
to participate with a significant adult in his or
her life? If so, we have a book of workshops
that last ~1.5 hours that cover a range of
topics. They were developed to encourage family
support of girls science learning but have been
used in a variety of contexts.

>Dear Colleagues,
>
>Marianne here from Galway Atlantaquaria in
>Ireland. We hold Children's Science Workshops
>every Saturday, and the most popular component
>is alway the science experiments. I've run the
>workshop for a while now with the same 6-7
>experiments, but now I'd like to change the
>content of the workshop to encourage (hopefully)
>some repeat visits!
>
>Does anyone have ideas for some fun science
>experiments, water-related or not, marine or
>not, that I could use for the workshop? The kids
>are 7-12 years old. the experiments we've done
>until now are the following: Make a sand filter,
>density gradient in salt and fresh water, design
>a boat, mussel filtration, time a wave, water
>quality testing, and launch a rocket (which has
>nothing to do with marine science, it's just
>fun!). I'd also be happy to share the
>instuctions for these experiments with anyone
>who's interested.
>
>Thank you for your help,
>
