Science fun for Kindy kids

By Miss Melinda Hamilton, Junior School Teacher

Yesterday our Kindergarten students enjoyed a fantastic science show with Dr Graham Walker. Kindergarteners are learning about ‘How the World Works’ this term, and will be exploring how scientists investigate the world.

The students were so excited to see the many fun experiments. Their curious minds were activated after watching a hoverboard fly, balls fly with air from a leaf blower and gasped when Mrs Kate Beacroft sat on a bed of nails. This incursion was a great way to get Kindergarten students engaged in science and excited to learn more this term.

My favourite part was when he sat on the nails because it was funny. He said he had special bottom saving underpants! – Celina

My favourite part was the hoverboard because it went really fast. He made it with wood and a big leaf blower – Hamish

My favourite bit was when he did the wind with the large garbage bin. He used special fog so we could see the air and it was a donut shape. This is called a vortex – Reuben

My favourite part was the trumpet made out of a straw. When the straw was cut the sound changed and got higher and higher and higher – Ollie

My favourite part was when Dr Graham blew his face with the leaf blower because it made his face look really funny! – Ethan
