In Term 3 we celebrated Science Week in Prep Red and Blue during our morning activities. As the Science Week theme for 2024 was species survival, the children enjoyed some nature play of Australian habitats to learn about some of our endangered species. 

We also did some experiments to explore physical and chemical changes. The children used droppers to add coloured water to oil and discovered that the water stayed in droplets under the oil and they never fully mixed together. We then added vinegar to bicarbonate soda and saw the exciting chemical change of making a volcano erupt. 

Our last activity was exploring the properties of cotton sand. This material stretches out like slime but feels soft like sand and can be molded into shapes. The children engaged in these activities with so much enthusiasm and asked if we can do more science experiments in the future. What a privilege to be able to share such exciting discoveries about God's world with our youngest learners.
