SCIENCE DAY
Sts Peter and Paul Science Week 2021
Our Annual Science Day was to be held tomorrow. Unfortunately, due to our current circumstances, we will be postponing our activities to another day for when we come out of Lockdown.
Despite not having our Science Day, you can still do some Science at home (with Mum and Dad’s permission and supervision).
The National Science Week Website has some Science activities that you can do at home. They’ve got more do it yourself science to try for National Science Week 2021, including some delicious ones based on our schools theme Food: Different by design.
- Lava Lamps (effervescence in oil and water)
- The Stroop Effect (Red, Blue, Green)
- Popping Candy Cupcakes (for a sciencey morning tea)
- Marshmallow Constructions (triangles are strong)
- Rolling Camera Shutter (why spinning things look weird on a phone camera)
- Periodic Table Biscuits (munch your way through the elements)
- Bouncy Eggs (what happens when you dissolve an egg's shell?)
- Chocolate Rocks (Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic)
Other National Science Week contributors have DIY activities to try too - check out these ones from:
If you get the chance to do some Science activities at home, please send us some photos for the Newsletter.
