What a week it has been! All of our campuses have been running all sorts of fun science activities.

We've experimented with 'Makey Makeys', using fruit, potatoes, Play-doh and people as controllers to play computer games and navigate mazes.

We've had some very competitive balloon rocket races - students had to anchor a balloon to a line in a way that would allow it to race the furthest, fastest. While some spun in circles, others took off and some even managed to make it to the end of the line.

We've planted seedlings in repurposed egg cartons - everlasting flowers, corn, beans, radish and more.

Our Palmerston Junior School Leaders have been out and about, not only demonstrating science experiments to the other students at recess, but also visiting Journey Early Learning Centre in Durack Heights. They showed the pre-school students how to make crystals and lava lamps, and showed them how to use magnets to lift things. To finish they made Ooblek and had a whole heap of messy fun.

Our Leanyer campus ran lunch time STEM activities that included egg drop and elephant toothpaste experiments. They looked in to binary coding, smart gardens and fly traps with help from their robot friends, Sphero and Bee-Bot.

And this is just a snippet! Well done to all students who participated in the Science Week activities, and a huge thank you to our science-y staff for the effort that has gone in to making it all possible.
