Cold Water Impact

This activity looks at how the body responds to cold water by asking children to participate in a practical experiment designed to measure the body’s responses to cold water immersion.

This activity can be run with a class of children, each working in pairs or small groups or as a teacher-led activity with pupils nominated to participate. It's an opportunity for the children to practise their skills when working scientifically and teach them an important life-lesson at the same time.
