Attention Junior Scientists! Get ready for two days filled with hands-on holiday science for curious kids from Prep to Year 8.

The PrimeSCI! Team are excited to return to the Wantirna Campus, and will be joined again by legendary retired science teacher Ralph Sinclair OAM.

Science Workshops

Motions of every impossible kind! Extend your understanding of motion through Ralph’s memorable physics activities and demonstrations in this 90-minute lesson. Investigate spinning, launching, diving, colours and more! A great extension to content covered in January’s Motions lessons. (90min)

Grade 5 - Year 8

Discover what happens when scientists and eggs are mixed together. The lesson will include testing the strength of the egg shape, protecting eggs and launching eggs with our own catapaults. You will never look at a carton of eggs the same way again! (Please do not attend if you have an egg allergy!) (1hr)

Prep - Grade 4

Why does it ooze, plop and stretch? Create our favourite slimes in the lab and compare their properties. (1hr)

Prep - Grade 4
