Science is often defined as ‘knowledge of any kind’, with most of us remembering our favourite science lessons as the ones in which some object was blown up or something boiled over as part of a chemical reaction. The Science Week programs at SCEA schools offer students the opportunity to explore the natural world with creativity and colour for our budding learners.
Beechboro Christian School (BCS) students from Year 2 had the opportunity to be “mad scientists”.
They learned about hidden messages and made a rainbow disappear.
It was a morning of fun and learning about the amazing things in science that God has created to keep our world in balance.
As part of their learning experience, the students eagerly took on the challenge of designing and constructing their own catapults, marble runs, and intricate Lego mazes.
Northshore Christian Grammar School (NCGS) proudly hosted their very first Primary Science Fair as a part of their Science Week celebrations.
