Waratah 2’s National Science Week Tuesday experiments Science Week mixed with our Colour Project gives us colour mixing. The children in the Sweet Pea room enjoyed the cause and effect of the droppers and food dye as well as the colour mixing that occurred using porous paper. Their developing Science minds was supported through questions…
Yesterday, Bolwarra’s Koala room had little scientists exploring germs! The educators helped the children to mix some solution in their hands and then used the UV light to see the ‘germs’ on their hands. After washing their hands clean of the solution, they investigated again to make sure they washed all the ‘germs’ away!
