Year 5/6

Some 5/6 students got the opportunity to participate in an incursion hosted by Gene Technology 

Access Centre. We learnt about pollination and why it’s important. Did you know out of every three bites of food we eat, it depends on animal pollinators like bees, butterflies, birds, and bats? One of the experiments we did was using a machine called a microscope to examine the parts of a flower. We also made some fun and creative gadgets to transport pollen from one flower to another. We made a device called the Glammer Glammer Glammer Grabber 3000 which was made out of plastic cups,straws and sticky tape!

Thank you so much GTAC team! We had so much fun and we admire your amazing work in the community!
