On Tuesday October 24th, the Year 3/4s spent the day at Scienceworks, building on our current Discovery learning on the topic of flight.  

 

During the Blast Off show, Gordon challenged us to consider the definition of a rocket, expanding our thinking about what counts as rocket fuel by demonstrating muscle-powered, air-powered and alka-seltzer-powered rockets.

 

Students also enjoyed exploring the Beyond Perceptions, Think Ahead and sporting exhibits, following their interests as they engaged with the vast array of interactive displays.  Please enjoy some photos from our day!
