Year 2 at ASAS has been reading George’s Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl and they are LOVING it. Therefore, we thought they might like to see some marvellous science experiments, like balloons shrinking and growing in liquid nitrogen, like Grannie, plus some huge billowing clouds exploding into the air like a magic potion. KEZAM!!! Thank you to Mr Cowan and all the teachers for having me and to the kids for being such a so-ho, ah-ha, super dooper fun audience!
HOLY MACARONI we had fun at Holy Saviour School in Greenacre this morning! Favourite question of the day, “If atoms never touch each other, how can something ever push another thing?” KEZAM! Another young physicist in the making. Thank you Mister Poullos and all the Year 2-6 teachers and huge thanks to the kids for being AWESOME and CURIOUS and SUPER FUN to speak to 🤓👍👏
We launched the STEM Beats Festival with an almighty KABOOM at The Hills Grammar School… two whole weeks of science, engineering, technology and maths activities and the kids are loving it. Thank you to Ms Fraser-Crooks for organising an awesome festival and all the teachers for your enthusiasm and support and most of all, to the students for being a FANTASTIC audience. Youse all ROCK!!!
WE DID IT!!! Brisbane’s snap lock-down in March was never gonna stop Year 6 learning about laser beams and liquid nitrogen at Indro State School… they came, they saw, they clapped and cheered and had a blast. Huge thank you to Mr Griffin and all the teachers and students for your patience, perseverance and passion for science👊🙏🤓

Are angels made of atoms? If so, what kind? Argon? Rubidium? Promethium? We didn’t get that far at Bridge Road School last Wednesday, but we did learn the Periodic Table, which is usually not covered until Year 10. Pretty amazing considering Bridge Road is for kids who need some extra help navigating their way through primary school. They LOVED learning about atoms. And I had no idea those wings were behind me so thank you Alan - the body surfing teacher - for capturing this happy snap while I was in “full flight”. Made my day 😇
Last school visit of 2020 and it was absolutely awesome!!! Margaret Jurd College is a non-government school for teenagers who need an alternative to mainstream secondary education. The students were riveted for a full 90 minutes watching liquid nitrogen demonstrations and explosions and learning where all the carbon atoms in exhaled carbon dioxide come from, and seeing how much sugar there is in soft drink, and much much more. Thank you to Rose Soto and all the teachers and especially all the STUDENTS for making my final school visit for this weird and wonderful year such a rewarding one which I’ll remember fondly for many years to come. Keep learning, keep smiling and keep breathing 🤓
FACT! Arncliffe Primary was founded 9 years before the Periodic Table was discovered. Today, we explored and exploded elements number 1, 2, 6, 7 and 8. Many thanks to Mrs Ghacham and Miss Tosevska for organizing a fabulous day and to all the teachers for your enthusiasm and most importantly to all the STUDENTS for being as stoked about science as me 🤓
