SCIENCE DAY – Wednesday 14^th September, 2022

 Sts Peter & Paul will be celebrating our ‘Annual Science Day’ on Wednesday 14^th September, 2022.

In class groups, students will participate in a variety of engaging science activities.

Keeping with tradition, our Year 6 students will lead the experiments with teacher support and supervision.

The theme for this year is “Glass: More than meets the eye.” Students are invited to dress as scientists/inventors for the day.

Activities include:

Storm in a Saucer

Erupting Lemon Volcano

Plastic Bag Parachutes

Air Cannons

Invisible Ink

IMPORTANT: In preparation for Science Day, we need your help to send in recycled materials for the activities we will be conducting. If you have any of these materials that you were going to throw out anyway, could you please send them to school with your child.

 Here is a list of materials that we will need to make our annual Science Day a success: plastic shopping bags; clean small soft drink bottles without labels (coke, fanta, lemonade, etc); and cardboard cylinders/rolls.

Students are also invited to enter our Balloon Car Competition. The Balloon Car Competition is a new addition to our Science Day Activities. There will be prizes for each Stage within the school. Please refer to the Balloon Car Information Sheets for details.
