Scientist in Residence – Cleaning up our waterways
During Term 1 and 2, our Kindy students have been learning about the problems caused by polluted water, especially regarding the impact that it has on animals in the water, such as turtles and fish. They have been very interested in activities that allow them to clean up dirty or contaminated water sources. These activities have included…
Crystal-A-Con
Everyone loves crystals. From snowflakes to diamonds to sugar, we see crystals everyday and we love them for being beautiful, shiny and symmetrical. Crystals are extra special to scientists because they are made up of repeating patterns of atoms and molecules. These patterns allow scientists to use a special technique called ‘crystallography’ to work out…
